stty erase e command

I'm not familiar with the stty command.

What would "stty erase e" do to my system and what kind of problems would it create? Also, how would I undo this command?

stty erase e will cause the letter e to erase characters written on the prompt .
Similarly if u want to use backspace to erase
then doing stty erase <back-space> will do it.

It wont affect the system in any way though i think u wont be able to use the letter e.

Undo i am not sure ...

man stty for details ...
