I am sure that this has been addressed ad nauseum, but I can't find the<br>
solution.<br>
<br>
2 Servers, Linux, FP 5.6, TERM=xterm; no PFTERM (not sure if that exists,<br>
seem to recall it though).<br>
<br>
Putty for access from WINxp, WIN 7 and 8 desktops,<br>
<br>
Settings in Putty:<br>
Terminal=Linux<br>
Backspace can be either Ctrl-H or Ctrl-? but works the same.<br>
<br>
Backspace works fine in everything except in (only some) parts of FP, it<br>
moves the cursor ahead instead of backspacing.<br>
<br>
I can't find any edits to apply to FPtermcap.<br>

Check the "xterm" entry in fp/termcap. If it has "tc=linux", then check the "linux" entry.<br>
<br>
You need to make sure that there is a ":bs:" value in that entry. That's the flag that specifies that the terminal is capable of backspacing.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
