I'll have a look. Thanks. I'm currently bashing my head against the 
previously mentioned undocumented termcap-like-file in an attempt to 
make it behave. I don't want to have to be changing terminal behaviours, 
since it's a total pain, but if I have to...

Nope. That app is a lost cause :-( ... with this one, there's some vague 
hope I can get it going. The app I'm now having problems with is in fact 
new, being the development environment for the app to replace the old 
one on the SCO box. What a great introduction to the devel environment 
... "wow, you guys spent less than 30s porting this, didn't you?!?".

*sigh*

Why does linux use YET ANOTHER different backspace and delete code set 
to everything else? Weren't there enough to pick from already, setting 
aside the (vaguely) standard ^H and ^? ...?
