There's a section in emacs news, also /usr/doc/emacs-21.2/NEWS, about a new user-option, 'normal-erase-is-backspace'. Customizing 'normal-erase-is-backspace' to nil achieves the desired effect in win32-mode rxvt (and does not affect X-Windowed emacs or emacs in X rxvt, as far as I can tell). kind regards Peter Ring -----Original Message----- From: Dirk.Sondermann [mailto:Dirk.Sondermann@dynaware.de] Sent: 27. august 2002 10:19 To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Backspace and C-h in emacs -nw In order to prevent ^H from being mistaken for DEL, try to include a stty erase ^- in your ~/.profile.
