Re: emacs -nw keypad, tpu-edt.el, and C-h

It will be in the next snapshot.

Thanks!

Now C-h and Backspace work as expected when I run emacs in a Cygwin console, provided I do stty erase ^? first. Am I right in assuming that this won't be necessary once the termios default is changed as Andy suggested? I did patch the terminfo database, but that didn't do it. I don't really understand much about how terminals work.

$ tput -T cygwin kbs | cat -v
^?
$ stty -a | grep erase
... erase = ^H ...
