One of the posts mentions:<p>"Most of the Linux distributions make changes as needed to make the
terminal emulators send ^? for "backspace", while almost everyone else
uses ^H. They should also modify the terminfo entries in ncurses, but
not all of the Linux distributions do _that_."<p>Almost every ncurses program I've seen seems to hack around this by checking for the ncurses definition of KEY_BACKSPACE as well as 0x7f.
