When calling the script from the menu editor, do something like;

Command | (DD) Exec external program
Data    | stty erase '^H' && /mystic/themes/default/scripts/scriptname.sh

That's how I got around the backspace as delete issue, this should help you find the answer to the other keys too.


Cheers!
