This shows that your erase character is the delete character, I forget which one you
were trying to use ? One good way of seeing what characters are generated is to run
the command:
	od -c
	>>X<<
Where X is the character that you want to know about. The point is that all too
often DEL (or something) gets mapped to an escape sequence.
