It was an easy enough cleanup. However, the perpetrator of that
atrocity needed a modest swat across the tusch with a trio of
braided wet noodles. So I delivered it. And then Alex issued a
repeat stroke.

That still leaves the issue of forcing the system to work
the way God intended (and every non-'IX and most 'IX
systems I have works.) I do a lot of work in console mode.
And I login from many systems often via roundabout paths.
So having them all agree with regards to the meaning of
0x08 and 0x7f characters is rather important. The answer
provided appears to be utterly useless. There are two maybe
salient bugzilla issues I can track down. But they do not
respond to the basic issue. Fedora Core 4 thinks these two
character codes do the wrong thing - EVERYWHERE in the system.
It makes working "my way" awfully difficult. And I am a person.
Therefore computers should adapt to me rather than the other
way around.
