Subject: general: backspace key generates ^H in X
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.4
Package: general
Version: N/A
Environment: X + mwm + xterm + various programs (cat, less for example)
This can be reconstructed by running the cat program in an xterm and
typing the backspace key, which generates ^H, which is not recognized
as a backspace. For consistency with the Linux console, backspace
should generate ^?, in my opinion.
