WP> $ stty erase [press ^V, press del, enter]

Insted of Ctrl+v, <DEL> the following is identical:
$ stty erase "^?"


WP>  I can't understand the FreeBSD schizophrenia about del.
WP>  It is a *PC* operating system.

Perhaps, it's main target groups is PCs but this doesn't make it
a "PC operating system". It carries the history of BSD and BSD is/was not
a "PC operating system".


As for the <DEL> issue, the following works for me:

$ bindkey "^?" delete-char
