I see this from time to time on our HP systems.  The terminal emulator on the client 
gets out of
sync with the host, especially in regards to CTL-H and the Backspace key.  I've seen 
this caused by
applications that set the emulator into raw mode (Oracle Applications 10.7 character) 
and then back
as well as su - user ... exit.

That CTL-H trick embedded in a filename is how I test our Jr admins.  Yes... I can be 
a tad evil at
times...

Thanks Ron ,
This worked . But do you know why it happens . As I said its happening third
time with me . My unix screen behaves weired sometimes it doesn't print any
character I type and some time it prints characters which I never type ( in
this particular case ).

Thanks,
-ak
