This was following an X upgrade (to 3.3.3) from source. It seems that some
*terms interpret PgUp & PgDown differently. I have managed to get BS and
DEL working in most of 'em, but then the behaviour changes in vi.
I think my problem was I blew away the xterm-color when I upgraded X - so
far I've only managed to find a version with a right-handed scroll bar.
So, to reiterate my original question, is there anything I can do with
aterm itself? Where in the source should I look?
