My local machine is mac. I ssh to a romote linux machine, where I run

anything I have to use 'x'. Is it designed this way in screen? Is
there a way to enable the 'delete' key?
I had this problem, the fix was my shell on the remote box.
I use TCSH, and had to use this snippet:
switch ( $OSTYPE )
case "darwin*":
bindkey ^? backward-delete-char
bindkey ^[[3~ backward-delete-char # for x
breaksw;
case "freebsd*":
case "FreeBSD*":
bindkey ^? backward-delete-char
bindkey ^H backward-delete-char
bindkey ^[[3~ backward-delete-char # for x
breaksw;
endsw
Maybe you're having the same trouble? I ended up not having to use this
after a few other tweaks to my system and terminal application. Maybe
this will help you figure out what your issue is.
