[wplug] Strange keyboard behavior

Thu Apr 8 00:32:05 EDT 2004

Are you running vi from a console or in a console window from an X desktop 
environment?

If it's happening in a console window ( e.g. konsole on the KDE desktop),
check the terminal emulation settings (keyboard setting).

The various terminal types interpret the backspace key differently.

I think there's an environment variable too .... TERM or TERMCAP or something 
like that ??!?!?!

Hope this helps - let us know,

Bob
