xterm weirdness on Solaris 2.3 - Reply

[Ken Schumack]

If you are using a csh you could add the following to your ~/.cshrc file....

if ($?prompt) then #execute only in interactive shell
#stty erase '^h' #use backspace to erase
stty erase '^?' #use delete to erase
stty echoe
endif

Has anybody noticed this problem: on all of our Solaris 2.3 machines, an
xterm starts up in a mode such that it echoes the erase characters; so
that if you type stuff in, then try to erase (DEC VT200 style keyboard,
Delete = Erase) you see a string of ^? everytime you hit the delete key.
It does actually erase the character, but it's annoying as hell to see
the supposedly invisible character. "stty echoe" fixes it, but it has
to be done after the xterm starts. BTW, I have "erase ^?" in my XTerm*ttyModes.
Any ideas?
