This is a thing that can be configured for the shell. I assume
you're using FreeBSD's default dialog shell, the C shell. In
this case, add to ~/.cshrc:

	bindkey ^? delete-char		# for console
	bindkey ^[[3~ delete-char	# for xterm

Or to /etc/csh.cshrc, if you want to make it a global setting.

You can check the success with the "stty -a" command.
