I tried your suggestion with the LIB, but no luck. Same problem.

I recall a discussion involving problems with the curses library
provided by HP-UX 11.x.  I worked around it by twiddling the LIBS in
the Makefile:

  LIBS            = -lnsl -lHcurses -lcurses -lm  -lc

When we discussed your problem earlier, off the list, it emerged that you
saw this anomalous behaviour in tty canonical mode as well as in ZLE.
It therefore seems unlikely to be a zsh problem, and more likely to be
a problem with the terminal.  Just possibly zsh is outputting something
that confuses the terminal, if the term(cap|info) settings are incorrect.
We'll need more information about the terminal and these settings in
order to determine where the problem is.

zsh for HP-UX ???

[Daniel.Norris]

I have a issue with zsh installed on HP-UX 11.0 and wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem.
After compiling a copy of zsh_4.0.4 and installing it I noticed the backspace and delete keys on the keyboard are no longer functioning. When the keys are used I get a one forward space then nothing. 
I installed the same version of zsh on Solaris and the backspace and delete key work correctly
Any ides?
