Unfortunately, it does not work here. ATM I am using a cygwin rxvt, and 
run qemu via SSH. I don't know if rxvt can resize, or if I have to allow

I usually test QEmu with a floppy image of Injector Linux. When I 
want to delete a word, I use Escape+d or Escape+BackSpace. I still do not 
get the desired result.

That is very good!

I like it very much. It makes it especially easy to copy text from the 
guest. I am very much in favor of inclusion. Now let's see what our BDFL 
says ;-)
