You'd lose Backspace for help-command prefix but you could use f1. You might have to check if f1 was correctly registered in terminfo or termcap database. For terminfo database, you could use infocmp command to show what characters are expected for f1 key. You also could type "C-v f1" on the tty to check that what characters f1 key exactly produces. Make sense? -- kazz
