There's a difference between C-h and backspace, even though the ascii character code is the same. I don't understand how emacs can tell the difference in terminal mode (although it's easy under X). But it certainly can. And that check box causes a C-h to be sent rather than a backspace, which is its own brand of annoyance. > "Use option key as meta key" That was very helpful when I found it last night. Lack of meta is so frustrating. I've also discovered that something is interpreting C-s as a prefix. So if I want to search for "dog" in emacs and type "C-s d o g" I see the "C-s d" disappear (even "C-h k" doesn't see it, so I'm pretty sure emacs isn't seeing it at all), then "og" inserts.
