What does "echo $TERM" say and what terminal are you using? What gets
sent when you press backspace? You can find out the latter with most
shells by first pressing control-V then the key in question. It should
be either ^H or ^? if it's anything like most standard terminals. You
can fool around with putting something like
"C-H" backward-delete-char
or
"C-?" backward-delete-char
in your $HOME/.inputrc, or as appropriate for whatever sequence your
terminal sends for backspace. There should be a readline man page on
the system too that you can consult.
