There is another way
Authored by: dthorburn on Oct 05, '04 08:05:16PM
The way I handle this is to have a pair of shell aliases set up for the stty erase entry. in your ~/.tcshrc:

alias ^H 'stty erase ^H'
alias ^? 'stty errase ^?'
or in ~/.bashrc

alias ^H='stty erase ^H'
alias ^?='stty errase ^?'
That way, whenever the backspace key is confused you can type backspace as a command and it will fix itself.
