The output from stty -a in both a screen session and non screen
session is exactly the same.
Your suggestion of ctrl+h to see if that works, certainly does. Any
chance we can figure out how to make this work on all sessions all the
time.
Put it in a .bashrc?
I don't actually know. I find that it breaks for me on odd occasions
- never consistently enough for me to look for a permanent fix. I just
end up doing a "stty erase ^v^h" any time I notice it's a problem.
I suspect it's a problem with the termcap for "screen" on older
machines, but I'm not certain...
If you could CC me on any replies directly that would be appreciated,
as I am not on the list for the moment (will resign up again later
on).
Thanks
