I'm using GNU Emacs 21.2.1 on a RedHat 8.0 box. Neither my delete nor
C-H key are working right. C-H is acting like the delete key should.
When I type "M-X help return c C-H", I get:
DEL runs the command backward-delete-char-untabify
Obviously something is mapping the C-H I typed into DEL. I know it's
not happening in some terminal emulation or transport layer before emacs
gets hold of it. If I trace the emacs process, I see it reading the
right characters from stdin:
[roy@bonkers roy]$ grep '^read(0' typescript
read(0, "\10", 1) = 1
read(0, "\10", 1) = 1
read(0, "\33x", 2) = 2
read(0, "h", 1) = 1
read(0, "e", 1) = 1
read(0, "l", 1) = 1
read(0, "p", 1) = 1
read(0, "\r", 1) = 1
read(0, "c", 1) = 1
read(0, "\10", 1) = 1
read(0, "\30", 1) = 1
read(0, "\3", 1) = 1
Two questions:
1) Where is this bogus mapping being done?
2) Why did RedHat screw this up?
