Does anyone know why stty won't accept '^?' in v7? It will accept
'^h',
but then the shell expects ^h to "backspace". I am trying to get the
delete key on my mac to do the backing up and it's '^?'. # isn't my
favorite since it's used in C programs, but pressing CTRL-h to backup is
a pain too. If you've read this far, I have three more questions:
1. How do you escape # in order to write a C program if # is the erase
character in the terminal?
2. How do you enter a literal character in the v7 shell (I am used to
CTRL-v CTRL-DEL to enter the delete character on other unices)?
3. Is there a way to echo the ascii value of a keypress in v7?
Thanks,
Will
