help on backspace key display
Tom Dargan
^? displays. Can anyone tell me how to configure whatever I have to
configure to get my backspace key to backspace on my display.
I didn't have the problem before, but I just replaced my PC . This is
really driving me to distraction. Many thanks for your help.

Type
stty erase "^H"
The symbol '^H' must be done by pressing [backspace]
(you can chexk how your term is already configured by ssty -a)
If it work, then you can place this line in ryour .profile so that you won't
have to type it on each term.

If you type "stty erase " (note the space at the end) and then press
your backspace key, and then press return, it will fix the problem for
that login.
I suggest you put that bit into a login script to automagically take
care of it when you start each session.
