All, 
 
Having been trying to work out why things like 'hack' refused to run, giving 
an error along the lines of "terminal can not backspace" Ive found and fixed 
a small omission in the termcap db :) 
 
Basically Ive done: 
 
	cd /usr/share/misc 
	vi termcap 
 
in the entries for pure 'vt220' (the consoles) and 'xterm' (xterms :), add the 
following parameter (See 'man 5 termcap' for details btw): 
 
	bs 
 
Save the file, then do: 
 
	cap_mkdb -v termcap 
 
It should complain about all sorts of duplicate termcap entries (ignore it :) 
but when do you can do: 
 
	tset 
 
and now 'hack' et al work again :)
