: |Ah, _do not_ include --disable-backspace-key and --disable-delete-key in the

: | XTerm*backspacekey: "\177"
: | XTerm*deletekey: "\033[3~"

: |Change to suit your tastes, eg. from memory, Linux users might like:
: | XTerm*backspacekey: "\008"
:You sure this isn't "\011" (octal)?
Quite right, that's octal so it's "\010" (not \008 or \011)
: | XTerm*deletekey: "\177"
:This seems backwards. BS=0x08, DEL=0x7F.
Quite possibly. Though I said backspacekey(BS)=0x08, deletekey(DEL)=0x7F
and you said the same thing, so I'm not sure what you're saying. XTerm gives
BS=0x08, DEL=0x7F under XFree86 3.3.3 on my machine. I've got no idea what
Linux does... looking up the termcap for Linux on my system says:
BS="\177", DEL="\033[3~" (== "\E[3~") so I suppose it's whether you want to
use settings like Linux console or like XTerm.
