Control chars dont work on command line (and other qns)

[Saurabh Tendulkar]

Hello,

I'm running ddd-3.3.8 configured --without-ncurses on solaris 8, compiled using
Sun workshop 6 compilers.

1. In ddd-3.1.3, control-U would work on the command line to erase current
line. ddd-3.3.8 has this option in the menu and it says the key is ctrl-U but
ctrl-U does absolutely nothing. Is there any way to get this to work? Other
keys such as ctrl-A dont work as expected. They go to the very beginning of the
line, which includes the dbx prompt... this is very unuseful. Something that
can go to the beginning of the user-input part will really help. 

2. In ddd-3.1.3, the command tool used to appear on invocation of ddd. Now it
doesnt appear unless you start running the program or hit alt-8. Is it possible
to get it to appear automatically on ddd startup?

3. On the dbx command line if I echo $PAGER, the answer is cat => dbx commands
don't page, they all scroll to finish. This is very difficult to read. The
problem is esp severe coz I've exported PAGER to "less" in my environment. If
dbx is run directly, the PAGER value is correct (ie. "less"). Is there any way
to fix this?

Hope you can help. Thank you very much, and kudos for an excellent product that
fills a need.

Saurabh
