Pressing backspace key simulates enter key

Hi,

Whenever i press the backspace key, a new line appears, i.e. it works like a enter key.

Thanks

This depends on your environment. Whatever program is directly talking to your keyboard is the place to start. If you are on Windows XP and have telneted into a Unix system, this could be a Windows XP problem. In the rare case of a tty being directly controlled by Unix, you would need to use the stty command. In the case of an X Server running on Unix it could be xmodmap or stty. But you want to track down why it is happening an undo that change. Don't simply introduce a compensating error with stty or xmodmap.
