I am trying to customize my keyboard while in an Xterm and have the
following questions:
1.  What is the difference between all of the different 'terms: console,
xterm, xterm-color, nxterm, etc.
2. How can define "gray" keys, like PageDown and End, in my .inputrc
file?  I found their keycodes using showkey, but .inputrc wants escape
sequences.
3. Even though I have the Backspace key working in an xterm
(TERM=xterm), when I ftp or do stuff that is not under direct control of
the shell, the delete key simply produces a ^H.  How do I fix that?

I know that this stuff might be documented somewhere, so an RTFM
response is okay, as long as you tell me which FM to read!  Thanks.

Paul
