In OCEAN command line mode, backspace, delete, and others don't work properly.

Hi,

When I'm in OCEAN command line mode, when I hit backspace, it shows "^H" on the command line.

"^[[3~" is for delete.

"^[[D" is for left arrow.

And so on.

Is there a solution to this?

I'm using IC 6.1.4.500, and using NX for Windows to work on a remote server.

I searched the forum, and find no others experiencing the same problem. 

 Thanks!

    I had a chat with a colleague in R&D - he said:

    From a local xterm, I get the same thing for the arrow keys.  Backspace and Delete work properly, but Ctrl+H outputs “^H”.

    From an xterm in NX, I get the strange characters for Delete but Backspace works properly.  So I think this just has to do with how the keyboard is configured.

     As I said, the arrow keys is not surprising, since ocean doesn't use readline, but maybe there's some keyboard configuration issue - not sure how you're accessing the tools.

    Anyway, as I said, customer support is the best bet.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
