Backspace/Erase/Del mess revisited




I know that you already discussed that, but I just cannot figure this out
myself.  I have here a Linux console (SuSe) and wish to ssh into Solaris. What
should I do to allow reasonable cursor movement??
Could you fill in the gaps/mistakes in my sketch? where is stty in this mess?

A keyboad key with a left arrow
	|
	|	Xkb?
	|
X code of that key (keysym 0xff08, BackSpace)
	|
	|	xterm, according to backarrowKey: true=^H false=^? 
	|	and maybe alse TERM?
	|
ASCII code of that key (^? or ^H)
	|
	|	shell, vi, etc.
	|
delete the previously entered key

An ancient HP Xterm produces ^H and works just fine with that Solaris. I would
like to emulate its behaviour with Linux.

	Thanks,
		Dan.
