27_ stty erase ^[[3~
stty: invalid integer argument `'
Try `stty --help' for more information.

That's if I hit a CTRL-V before the backspace key.  If I try and stty
erase ^\?, I still can't print the ?

You can run

> stty erase <backspace character>

If the command won't take the backspace character, try

> stty erase <ctrl v><backspace character>

Cheers,

I know I've ask this question before but I can't find the replies,
sorry!

When I'm in an xterm, my backspace key does not work.  Only in xterm
thought.  What do I need to do to fix it?

Thanks,
