ek (1) --- select erase and kill characters 12/16/81 _U_s_a_g_e ek [ ] _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n 'Ek' allows the user to select his erase (character delete) and kill (line delete) characters. If 'ek' is called with two arguments, the erase and kill characters are set. Each of the arguments may be a single character, or an ASCII mnemonic for an unprintable character. If 'ek' is called without arguments, the current erase and kill characters are printed. Erase and kill characters are part of the user's permanent profile, and so will be remembered from session to session. _E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s ek 1 2 ek BS DEL ek _M_e_s_s_a_g_e_s "Usage: ek ..." for improper number of arguments _B_u_g_s "ek e k" will produce extremely undesirable effects. _S_e_e _A_l_s_o term (1), _U_s_e_r_'_s _G_u_i_d_e _f_o_r _t_h_e _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _T_o_o_l_s _S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m _C_o_m_m_a_n_d _I_n_t_e_r_p_r_e_t_e_r ek (1) - 1 - ek (1)
