When martin says that "backspace works fine", he probably means that DEL work fine, whereas BS does not. Some terminals generate DEL when you press the key with the backwards arrow on, and some generate BS. BS is identical to Ctrl-H, by the way.

^H and BS are the same. There is no "mapping BS to ^H" because BS _is_ ^H. man ascii.

I agree that ^H for help should be disabled. Using ^H for help is a misfeature we don't need to copy from Emacs. :-)

but emacs manages to distinguish ^H from backspace.

No, it doesn't. Not when you run it in a tty.

Pike hold setenv and putenv in master.pike. So FastCGI is a bit hard to worked with. Why not just pass setenv&putenv down to C lib?

_typeof Bug:
