How to delete a character

Hi,

T think this is a question for Perderabo.
If you think you know the answer you must be very good ! Smilie

Most of us know how the make the <backspace> key backspace a character.
Now how do I make the <delete> key delete a character.

!! So when I press the delete key the character after my current cursor position gets deleted. !!

Running "stty erase ^?" makes the delete key performing a backspace.
Now what do I need to run to make the delete key delete.


Some background info might be that I use Midnight Commander for Unix. It has several types of terminals where I can define the erase function, etc.. However per default in a Unix dtterm the delete key does print a ^? or performs a backspace.

Hope it's clear and someone knows the answer.

glutSpecialFunc(3GLUT)						       GLUT						    glutSpecialFunc(3GLUT)

NAME
glutSpecialFunc - sets the special keyboard callback for the current window. SYNTAX
#include <GLUT/glut.h> void glutSpecialFunc(void (*func)(int key, int x, int y)); ARGUMENTS
func The new special callback function. DESCRIPTION
glutSpecialFunc sets the special keyboard callback for the current window. The special keyboard callback is triggered when keyboard func- tion or directional keys are pressed. The key callback parameter is a GLUT_KEY_* constant for the special key pressed. The x and y callback parameters indicate the mouse in window relative coordinates when the key was pressed. When a new window is created, no special callback is initially registered and special key strokes in the window are ignored. Passing NULL to glutSpecialFunc disables the generation of special callbacks. During a special callback, glutGetModifiers may be called to determine the state of modifier keys when the keystroke generating the call- back occurred. An implementation should do its best to provide ways to generate all the GLUT_KEY_* special keys. The available GLUT_KEY_* values are: GLUT_KEY_F1 F1 function key. GLUT_KEY_F2 F2 function key. GLUT_KEY_F3 F3 function key. GLUT_KEY_F4 F4 function key. GLUT_KEY_F5 F5 function key. GLUT_KEY_F6 F6 function key. GLUT_KEY_F7 F7 function key. GLUT_KEY_F8 F8 function key. GLUT_KEY_F9 F9 function key. GLUT_KEY_F10 F10 function key. GLUT_KEY_F11 F11 function key. GLUT_KEY_F12 F12 function key. GLUT_KEY_LEFT Left directional key. GLUT_KEY_UP Up directional key. GLUT_KEY_RIGHT Right directional key. GLUT_KEY_DOWN Down directional key. GLUT_KEY_PAGE_UP Page up directional key. GLUT_KEY_PAGE_DOWN Page down directional key. GLUT_KEY_HOME Home directional key. GLUT_KEY_END End directional key. GLUT_KEY_INSERT Inset directional key. Note that the escape, backspace, and delete keys are generated as an ASCII character. SEE ALSO
