Hello,

I've written a Perl script that prompts for asnwers to questons. At those prompts, the backspace key shows up as ^H^H.

I would like the users to have the ablility to use the backspace key. I'm running bash shell and don't otherwise have this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

include : set erase ^H in their profile perhaps?

No, that doesn't change it. The problem only occurs within a the Perl script. At leas that's the only time I've seen it.

Are the other users also running bash ??

I got it.

putting "stty erase ^H" in my profile does the trick.

Thanks!
