I am having problems with my backspace and delete keys in 4GL and informix tools like dbaccess. I am running putty as an xterm. The TERM env is xterm. I am looking to have the backspace be destructive and the delete key be an Interrupt. I have tried running the termcap_keys program form the IIUG site and using those setting to no avail. The keys work normally in bash and vi. I have kD=\\E[3~: In my termcap now which is what termcap_keys suggested, nothing for backspace.
