Griffith, CIS doesn't, by default, have a visualy destructive backspace, what it normaly does is just move the cursor back one space. However, the character that it is moved back over top of, is deleted. There is a complicated procedure you can go thru to set up a terminal definition that does a destructive backspace visualy…what it does on receipt of a backspace is echo back the following sequence: backspace space backspace A ^H is the default backspace definition.
