Did you try to do this: wsconsctl -w map+="keycode 14 = Cmd_ResetEmul BackSpace" ...as I suggested? It works for me. After doing that, DEL still acts as a traditional UNIX rubout, but BS sends ASCII BS, which prints as ^H (at least in csh). -- "I probably don't know what I'm talking about." http://www.olib.org/~rkr/
