>Description:

[FDIV019]

When you tell the system to boot -s, it comes up and says:

	Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:

If you press RETURN, you get:

	erase *, kill ^U, intr ^C

where * is a symbol that looks like a stick drawing of a house.

This is yet-another symptom of erase not being set to ^H and the BACKSPACE
key not generating ^H and programs not coping with it.


>How-To-Repeat:


>Fix:
	
Return erase character to being 0x08 and make the BACKSPACE key produce
a 0x08. 

*END*
