[...] > Does anybody know how to fix "home" and "end" for xterms only? You don't happen to be using xbase 3.3.2.2-1 somehow, do you? That version did exactly what you describe. However, it has since been fixed (in 3.3.2.2-2, released on 15 July). It's also possible you used xbase 3.3.2.2-1 at some point, modified /etc/X11/Xresources, and then said no to letting dpkg replace that file in later upgrades. You should have the following in your /etc/X11/Xresources file: *VT100.Translations: #override <Key>BackSpace: string("\177")\n\ <Key>Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\ <Key>Home: string("\033OH")\n\ <Key>End: string("\033OF") If you don't, you may want to edit it to look like the above. -- G.
