Re: Backspace problem on VMS

Hi all,

I'm having a problem in which the backspace doesn't work as it should when I telnet into a VMS machine while I'm in an xterm session. Instead of deleting the character, my cursor jump to the beginning of the line. The DELETE key doesn't work either. I've checked an made sure that my TERM environment is set to VT100, which is what I used in the Windows program SecureCRT without any problem. Also, I don't have any problem telnetting into a Unix machine. Is there anything that I should do to make it work? I've been Googling both the Web and newsgroup and couldn't anything regarding this issue.


Cygwin's default (and best supported) terminal setting is 'cygwin'.  Sorry,
I know next to nothing about VMS so I can't direct you further on how to
make the target VMS machine understand the 'cygwin' terminal settings.
But this information should help guide you to a line of research which
will offer a solution I hope.
