Well, with that * Backspace prefixes help commands * Delete removes character under mark * C-h prefixes help commands So I'm still only 2/3rds of the way there. How to make Backspace remove the character left of mark? Fredrik Staxeng 15 Oct 2002 12:30:13 +0200 > The backspace key should send ^? to the application running in > cygwin window.

Does anyone know how I might configure this? Backspace is now the only aberrant key (in normal-erase-is-backspace-mode).

I should probably try reinstalling. I did not delete my old cygwin (1.3.10) install before putting the new one on--perhaps that causes problems? Perhaps I should * nuke all my cygwins * install emacs-X11 > note that C-h does work if you launch emacs from an xterm No, C-h was wrong for me "out of the box" after installing (and using) emacs-X11. > (or use the X version). I'll try that. XWin comes up, now I need to learn how to set it up. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
