Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2003 19:15:31 +0200 Organization: NOYB Lines: 14 Message-ID: <87k74ucaj0.fsf@lynx.tre-1.ionific.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Complaints-To: usenet@sea.gmane.org User-Agent: Gnus/5.090014 (Oort Gnus v0.14) Emacs/21.2 (i386-debian-linux-gnu) Greetings, I just upgraded all Cygwin packages to their latest versions. Although I don't use Cygwin a lot, I'm fairly sure that I would have noticed if backspace in an ordinary Windows console window had ended up as ^H to a Cygwin application (zsh in this case) running in that console window, which is what happens now. Anyway, whatever the old behaviour was, I want backspace to generate ASCII DEL (^?) and not ^H --- how can I make Cygwin do that? -- Hannu -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
