Hello unix friends,
We run DU4.0e but this is more of a command line editor question in general.
Our developers telnet to the unix servers and use the korn shell (/bin/ksh).
Some of our developers use the vi editor and some use the emacs editor from
the command line by having "set -o emacs" or "set -o vi" in their .profile
(actually a file called .cmis_user_profile that is called by .profile, as
our .profile is standard for everyone, they are free to change the
.cmis_user_profile at will).
A new employee started this week and she likes the vi editor from the
command line, but she really would like the Delete key to work (she said it
worked at here last job).
We got the Backspace key to work by adding this to the .cmis_user_profile
file
stty erase ^H
I am at a loss for getting the Delete key to work. It doesn't do anything
when pressed. Even in emacs mode the Delete key doesn't do anything.
Is there a command to make the Delete key work from the command line.
Thanks in advance for any help
