Backspace in SCO mode
Lars
I just purchased iSSH and I quite like it so far!
I have a couple of issues, though, that I hopefully can get some help
with:
1) I cannot get backspace to work in a SCO ANSI application (I am
using "SCO mode"). I have tried "stty erase ^H" and I have tried with
and without the "Backspace is ^H" setting. I have confirmed by "stty -
a" that backspace is set to ^H. Also, I have the TERM variable set to
ansi. The strange thing is that if I add a macro to send ^H, it
works. It is just the backspace on the keyboard that does not work no
matter what I try. Note that the issue is only in the SCO ANSI
application - when in the Linux shell, the backspace key works fine.
The SCO ANSI app works fine with the desktop version of putty or any
of a number of other emulators. Please advise - using the pie chart
everytime I need to delete a character is very cumbersome.
2) After the phone has gone to sleep and I wake it up again and try to
open any of the stored connections, I get "Fatal Error: No route to
host." I have to either wait a while, or exit iSSH and open another
app which accesses the Internet and then go back to iSSH and open the
connection.
Thanks,
Lars

I'm sorry the only workaround at this point is a ^H macro. The
"Backspace is ^H" should be doing it's job as expected. I'll check
into it though testing a SCO terminal is difficult for me as I don't
have one readily available.
I've got a fix in the works for the sleep issue in iSSH and it'll be
resolved in the next release, which I will be releasing to Apple
within the next couple of weeks.
