Backspace key in terminals

[Brian McGrew]

TERM=xterm in set | grep TERM

I try 'stty erase <hit backspace key>' but since backspace doesn't do
anything I got an invalid parameter message.

Issue "set | grep TERM".

If "TERM" isn't "xterm" or something like "vt100", you might want to 
"export TERM=xterm" or "export TERM=vt100".
