Dear all,
My original message:
----------------
Some time ago, I had problems with my NCD X-tube: the DEL key (well,
the large key at the upper right corner of the main keyboard) erased
the *next* character within Netscape (and Netscape mail).
This was fixed thanks to John Deacon who suggested to add the following
lines in .Xdefaults:
blah blah
Now, I have just installed WORDPERFECT on my 2100 server running
DU 4.0B ... and the very same problem appears again within Wordperfect.
I have also tried the solution suggested by John Clarke which is to set
the "Setup/Change user preferences/Compatibility" to "Be Compatible with
Old DECwindows Vendor String" in the NCD user service console, but to no
avail.
--------------------
I received a suggestion from Terry Horsnell:
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x66 = Delete BackSpace"
which did not work ... but this made me think that I should "man
xmodmap" and "man xev".
Finally, the solution was to add the following line in .login:
xmodmap -e "keycode 102 = BackSpace Delete"
For the moment, everything seems fine....
Cheers,
Jean-Loup
