Thank you for your insight. I actually solved this in a very simple
way.<br>
<br>
All users access this app via a script. I just place the following in
that script and it worked.<br>
<br>
case $TERM in<br>
xterm)<br>
stty erase "^H"<br>
stty intr "^?"<br>
stty susp ""<br>
stty eol ""<br>
stty rprnt ""<br>
stty werase ""<br>
stty eol2 ""<br>
;;<br>
esac<br>
<br>
This was a snipet of code from the /etc/profile that <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:brian@aljex.com">brian@aljex.com</a>
posted many years ago to get filepro working properly with Linux. Some
of my users are coming into this app via a thin-client linux server
using a gnome desktop ssh session. Therefore my choice of emulations
is limited. <br>
<br>
The solution I have will only effect filepro via one of these
sessions. All other users who access are coming in via a ssh session
directly using alphacom. Alphacom has the best filepro scoansi
emulation I have ever seen and it is only $25 per seat.<br>
<br>
Many thanks. You guys really go tme thinking outside the box.<br>

This would be for filepro only.
I would like to change my filepro termcap so the Delete key works the
same as the scoansi Delete key instead of having to do a ctrl-c.

man xmodmap
I don't actually remember the full syntax anymore though. Been quite a
while since I've regularly used X11. There's a section in the examples in
the man page that shows setting Backspace to emit "^?", so you should be
able to extrapolate.
You're not exactly on about just for an xterm though. Using something like
xmodmap is going to change it server-wide (well, session-wide). So if that
key is currently doing something like the IBM Remove "^[[3~" sequence, and
you force it to generate 0x7F, -all- your applications are going to have to
be able to cope with that key emitting that. For an xterm, you'll just
need to set INTR to "^?", and that's no problem. Most other things don't
care. Some might, though. Web browsers used to have funny ideas about ^H
vs ^? in text input widgets--especially Motif-based anything.
But for an xterm to do what you want, you need to xmodmap to get the key
emitting the right code, and -also- stty inside the shell, or set that
discipline when starting the xterm (-tm intr "^?"). You need the
combination of actions for this to work.
