Subject:    Bug#1348: kvt: Can't enter # and @ on HP-UX

package: kvt
version: 1.1.1
target: hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20
compiler: egcs 1.1.2

When I start a kvt the termio ERASE and KILL special characters are
hardcoded to the HP-UX defaults, i.e. # and @. This makes the terminal
useless, because you can't even enter a comment or an EMail address into
an vi editor :-(

I tried to play around with "stty". But even if I set "kill" and "erase"
to other values, the # and @ still behave the same. Here are the default
tty settings for a kvt on my HP-UX machine:

speed 9600 baud; -parity 
time = 255; eol = <undef>; swtch = ^@; 
susp = ^Z; dsusp = ^Y; 
werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; 
brkint -inpck -istrip icrnl -ixany onlcr 
-iexten echo echoe echok 
-echoctl -echoke 

BTW: This might be a deeper hidden problem, because when I start an xterm
or CDE dtterm from a kvt or a kvt under CDE then they all have the same
errorneous behaviour. Maybe there is some incompatibility between KDE/kvt
and HP-UX termio?

Regards,

	Stefan
