Re: Typing problem under SQL

On Unix I always recommend remembering that the WORD ERASE character is usually setup to be control-W. Therefore on those rare ocassions that you work on
a badly-configured terminal and then go for an erase and see control-H, you might be
able to use control-W to kill the last word (instead of re-typing the whole blooming
line).
Might not work under all circumstances, but on those rare ocassions it can be pretty
useful!

Often the Unix commands will accept circumflex-H instead of a true control-H.
This can be easier to type into a configuration file:

    stty erase '^H'
(note that the circumflex is a separate character from the H).

If the person is running a C-shell then it ought to be in their .login
