I don't know if both my bugs are related. I am sending 2 emails just to avoid clutter. I use zsh on hpux. I have noticed a problem with zsh and hpux version 11i. I have tried zsh versions 3.0.5 and 4.0.4 with the same results. Both versions display the problem mentioned below on hpux 11i and both don't have the problem on hpux 10.20. The problem is that the backspace key does not erase characters as I type. Now, I am not too dumb to not know stty. The same stty settings work with every other shell / interactive software. The very same setting work fine on hpux 10.20. I will give you a sample output. In this, I will type the `a' key, followed by the backspace key, followed by the `b' key followed by the enter key. Here is a cut-paste from my terminal: $ a b zsh: command not found: b $ echo $TERM dtterm $ stty -a speed 9600 baud; line = 0; rows = 24; columns = 80 min = 0; time = 0; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U eof = ^D; eol = ^@; eol2 = ^@; swtch = ^@ stop = ^S; start = ^Q; susp = ^Z; dsusp = ^@ werase = ^@; lnext = ^@ parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -crts -ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc ixon -ixany ixoff -imaxbel -rtsxoff -ctsxon -ienqak isig icanon -iexten -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh echoctl -echoprt echoke -flusho -pendin opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel -tostop $ A similar problem is the the cursor keys don't work while editing stuff typed at the prompt. In the following cut-paste, I type `a' followed by left arrow, followed by `b' followed by enter: $ aba zsh: correct 'ba' to 'bs' [nyae]? n zsh: command not found: ba $ Similar things happen with M-b. (I work in emacs editing mode). line kill, ^U, works fine. Any suggestions as to what could be going wrong / what I could do to investigate further / what information I should provide to help you figure what is going on?
