Re:[tbox-l] Emacs Problem

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

Sure enough...
The backspace works fine in a new emacs window session, but
if you unset the DISPLAY and run it from an xterm it does not.

There isn't anything new from 4.3.2 --> 4.3.3 that should have
caused this; there's a good chance that this has something to
do with the specific build of emacs, since the Toolbox emacs
is a rebuilt recent version, different from whatever build you
were running on 4.3.2.  (I mean, it may be the same version you
were running before, but it was rebuilt on a different system,
perhaps with different build options, etc.; or it could indeed
be a different version).  Did you ever run your original emacs
binaries on 4.3.3 and see this?
