Force delete key to work in aix ksh ?
I'm using AIX console over putty.
I'm not very happy with default ksh command editing capabilities so I forced insert mode, arrow keys and command history by issuing:

set -o emacs
alias __D=`echo "\002"`
alias __C=`echo "\006"`

in emacs mode history works using ctrl+p, so only thing missing is del key-
How to force del key to work as it should ?

thanks
Vilius

thanks a lot vilius for this

its makes its a lot easier to work with AIX

however, do you know I can force my account to execute these commands automatically whenever I log on?

put these lines into local /home/someuser/.profile or global(for all users) /etc/profile files.
