Good.  I was looking for something strange in $TERM usage.

erase seems to be set to ^H.  When you run cat(1) and press DEL what
does your terminal show?  My cons25 terminal shows:

	keramida@hades[19:34]/home/keramida$ cat
	^?

Are you resetting any of erase or erase2 in your shell startup files
with stty?

Giorgos.
