I believe that Rusty is correct, as I have seen and handled this before.

The exact keypress sequence is
$ stty erase {ctrl-v} backspace

{ctrl-v} = Insert Special Character, which you have to do in order for the backspace to emit it's special character (^H) instead of just backspacing.

Yes, it originally worked from the shell. This also makes it work in the app (svrmgrl).

Good luck.

Alan.
