Re: [Nano-devel] Hacked to work, but would like input

[lnelson]

OK, here's how to make the new Nano 1.2.1 work on FreeBSD
with TERM=xterm-color when SSH'ing in from GLTerm on 
Mac OS-X.

This is really nasty, so I hope someone will come
forward with a more elegant solution.

nano.c

  Insert after line 3459:

    if (kbinput == KEY_DC) { kbinput = KEY_BACKSPACE; }

winio.c

  Insert after line 243:
   
    if (kbinput == KEY_DC) { kbinput = KEY_BACKSPACE; }

OK, thanks in advance for your insight.
