Steve,

  My short answer is no ideas.  

  I tried this with PuTTY and OpenSSH and see the same thing.  I also tried
changing some of the setting related to key mappings and terminals, but that
didn't make any difference.  

  I don't know if Greg has any ideas.  If not, we may need to ask MatLab
about this.

Dave

Subject: matlab keyboard mappings

Here's a funny problem.  I ssh to unixgen (with either PuTTY or openssh - 
I've tried it with both) and then open Matlab.  The X11 display for the 
Matlab console comes up and I can type alphanumeric into it, but it doesn't 
recognize my backspace, enter, or cursor keys.  In other words, I have to 
use ctrl-H instead of Backspace and ctrl-M instead of Enter.  On the other 
hand, these are mapped correctly when in the openssh or putty window and in 
an xterm opened from unixgen.

Any ideas about what's wrong?

Steve
