There is a bug with ne Rubout key on OS X and some other systems.

Rubout (Backspace key) erases chars like Delete key; ^H works well.

Fix it temporary that way: in the file

~/.ne/.keys

add this line:

KEY 7F Backspace

See the "Hints and Tips" section of the manual, one of which is

Mac users should turn on “Delete sends CTRL-H” in the Terminal settings.
If you are a Mac user, you need to check the “Delete sends CTRL-H” option in the
‘ Advanced ’ tab of the Terminal application settings.

Ok. I understood. I checked "Delete sends ^H" in iTerm2 > iTerm2 > Preferences > Keys.

ne now is working okay. Backspace and Delete works as expected:Backspace sends

^H

not

^?

Delete sends HEX

Rubout still works bad, but bug fixed by:Backspace is Backspace, not Rubout.

Thanks you very much!
