Backspace key simulated enter

[Vibhor Kumar Agarwal]

Hi,

Whenever i press the backspace key it works like enter.
How do i get around this.

Thanks

Depending on (soft) keyboard mapping the backspace key is likely to send a 'del' character.

Either change the keyboard defintion (in a terminal emulator, or rom-setup for a real dumb terminal).

Or... tell HPUX to treat it as an erase.
You probably want to add a lien to .profile or .rcsh reading:

stty kill ^U erase ^? intr ^C

Display current settings with: stty -a

Be sure to check the man page for stty

Hope this helps some,

Hi,

if you use "putty" as telebt emulator,
see Keybord setting and choose Control-h.

You've seen good questions and bad questions.

Is yours a good question with pertinent infomation to work with?

I mention several variables, do you offer any data?

WHAT does not work?

HOW are you connecting?

WHAT are the current stty settings?

WHAT is the keyboard mapping

If you answer all the questions implied in my first reply then I knwo 100% that you yourself can solve the problem and report back here to indicate the resolution for future readers.

Kindests regards,

A few questions I failed to ask...

- Is the keyboard busy in a telnet/ssh/serial line session to an hpux box?

- Are you are the shell command line or within an application (sam, top, accounts-receiveable, ...) ?

We can NOT look over your shoulder.
You are our eyes in this.

For a minute, just pretent that you read the question, not wrote it. What details would you need to try to help.

Cheers,
Hein.
