Apologies in advance for such a basic question, but I cant find what I need
in the man pages.

I am using Reflection X to get into AIX 4.2. My backspace key doesnt work.
I have tried:

stty erase <backspace>

When I hit the <bs> key, the output is ^[[3~

Thereafter, whenever I hit backspace, it doesnt backspace but echoes [3~

Thanks.

When you type 'stty erase <backspace>' do you type in the word <backspace> or
hit the backspace key

Should work if you type in

stty erase <backspace> - where <backspace> is the backspace key.

Never mind. Someone pointed out a Reflection setting that switches <bs> and
<del>.

If that doesn't work, you might try using:

stty erase ctrl-v backspace_key
