No, from the console everything is fine. It is when I use sh within an
xterm or wterm that I have a problem. Using csh there is no problem.
Pressing the ( key erases the character before the cursor when using sh
within an xterm.
This is 5.3-STABLE. I found a few references by googling from others
who have had the same problem and have also had to put a 'stty erase2 ^H'
in .shrc (or whatever).
