I restarted my xterm many times, but I'm pretty sure I had a different behavior in the first one before I eventually invoked "stty erase '^?'"... > Interestingly uxterm seems to be immune! Not for me. Both stty and toggeling normal-erase-is-backspace (or both) make that either both DEL and C-h delete or activate the help menu... Anyway, there are many good alternatives to xterm (urxvt, GNOME Terminal, XFCE Terminal, KDE Konsole, ...). Bye, Tassilo
