[ILUG] backspace wierdness

[Paul Askins]

I had this problem a while back on a Sun here at work.  There's a file called
.tcsh-keymap which is sourced from my .cshrc which binds certain key presses.

 From .tcsh-keymap

bindkey -b ^? delete-char

And from .cshrc

  if (-f $HOME/.tcsh-) then
    source $HOME/.tcsh-keymap
  endif

I assume similar applies to bash if that's what you're using.

  I've just moved my root partition from hda to hdb (I had to install
 windows to play "Homeworld" ;)
 
  Windows scrubbed the bootblock, so I did some funky magic to get it all
 working again, but it works fine now.
 
  Apart from my backspace. It's turned to ^? - in X or console. How do I
 either change it back, or get X working properly (can't do stty erase for
 X !) ?

Programming graphics in X is like finding sqrt(pi) using Roman numerals.
