Red face UNIX/Solaris doubt
I am pretty new to unix/solaris and i was wondering on one thing . Why dont the unix and solaris guys include the backspace option while typing in the command prompt. whenever i type in a command, i have to press either ctrl-bkspace or the delete key. Is there any keyboard interrupt problem or conflict with the backspace key interrupt? Just wondering....!!!!

Regards Vasanth

The KornShell is great. I think the problem lies in the tty configuration, which you can change by adding the following line to your .profile file:
Code:
stty erase ^H

followed by this command on the command line:

Code:
. .profile

You can test it on the fly before adding it to the .profile file by typing it (stty erase ^H ) on the command line, but the setting will be lost the next time you start the shell unless it is in the .profile file.
