Re: [SLE] backspace key and TERM var

Can anyone tell me which terminal type to set the env TERM variable to
that would give be an 0x08 instead of a 0x7f when I hit the backspace
key on SuSE-10.0? In konsole when I select the vt420pc terminal type it
does the job. I need to do the same thing on a normal linux console.

Thanks

I ran across this little expect script that does this

#!/usr/bin/expect

eval spawn -noecho $argv

interact {
\177 {send "\010"}
"\033\[3~" {send "\177"}
}

When I start my program using this script "script program" it works. The
backspace key gives me 0x08 an the delete key gives me 0x7f. However I'm
looking for bash commands that will do the same thing for me? The TERM
variable I mentioned above come to find out is pretty much useless these
days anyway. So any keybrd experts out there?

Thanks
Mark
