This is fine as long are you're within your shell, or another program that is tolerant of the two different ways of saying 'backspace'. If your 'erase' stty variable isn't set correctly, a number of things fail to deal with backspace correctly. For just one example, password entry when ssh'ing to another machine requires a correct 'erase' setting. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
