Well I actually have it exactly the other way around, but that still causes problems in some cases, unless I'm very careful about setting it everywhere :( I had my config set such that it should work when logging in from various places, all of which had different screen sizes, different keyboards, different X clients, and different ideas about what should be the default erase character. So I had to decide for one or the other and strongly enforce it. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- 'this bath is too hot.'
