If it is not working I think you can always use CTRL + H

once you figure out what character is associated w/your backspace-key, set it in your .profile

hpuxUSER> grep stty .profile
stty erase "^?" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"
stty hupcl ixon ixoff

Better make sure your TERM environment variable ends up with the proper value.

Sadly too many /etc/profile scripts set the TERM variable to some kind of default.

if you use the stty commands in your .profile it is proper to make sure ^U, ^C and ^D are single characters and not 2 characters.

To make ^U as a single character hit CTRL-V + CTRL-U in your vi editor
for ^C hit CTRL-V + CTRL-C
for ^D hit CTRL-V + CTRL-D
etc

This works for all, except ^?
