 What terminal do you use? (The cygwin-xfree list is meant for X issues.)
 


The cygwin xterm program

 The cygwin xterm program

You can change the backspace key mapping on the fly using the
'Backarrow Key' under 'Main Options' in xterm's menu.

One way to change it permanently is to stick this into a file called
.Xdefaults in your home directory:

*ttyModes: erase ^H

It's creating problems for me, especially when I ssh to remove systems
where I can't arbitrarily change the stty erase setting. TIA.
