> The patch to fix this age old problem is to change a line in term.c :

> If you can't build anew version, a workaround it to add this into screenrc

> bindkey -d -k kb stuff \010

> History :

> This patch is actually a reverse of a patch in 3.7.5 ( or maybe 3.7.6 ).
> It appears some broken programs worked only with it, but that broke
> "good" programs. Today hopefully most programs are "good" and
> the fix is acceptable. Note about emacs, it is known that emacs
> MIGHT have problems on terminals ( physical, emulated, whatever )
> that send c-H for backspace. This is mentioned in the emacs FAQ
> and also a solution is presented there.
