Also;
control-button 2 (ctrl-command-click) displays the VT Fonts menu
control-button 3 (ctrl-option-click) displays VT Options menu
To change the erase character (delete key) from ^H (backspace)
to delete.
stty erase ^?
or
alias del='stty erase ^?'
(note: ^ and ? are literally typed in as 2 characters)
to go back, enter
alias BS='stty erase ^H'
Both Terminal and xterm don't seam to care which is used.

I thought I saw a posting on this list earlier today or yesterday to
the effect that one could
control what the backspace key sends via a selection you can make
from
the ctrl-click menu
(as opposed say to xmodmap). But I see no such thing with ctrl click
or ctrl-right-click.
Can the poster please elaborate?
What is in the menu that you see when you Ctrl-left-click? In my
xterm, I
see the following (items marked with 'v' are checked):
Main Options
Secure Keyboard
Allow SendEvents
Print Window
Redraw Window
-------------------
8-Bit Controls [greyed out]
Backarrow Key (BS/DEL)
v Alt/NumLock Modifiers
Meta Sends Escape
Delete is DEL
Old Function-Keys
Sun Function-Keys
VT220 Keyboard
-------------------
Send STOP Signal
Send CONT Signal
Send INT Signal
Send HUP Signal
Send TERM Signal
Send KILL Signal
-------------------
Quit
