From: Joseph Sokol-Margolis <seph@MIT.EDU>
System name: m56-129-24.mit.edu
Type and version: i686 8.4.9
Display type:
Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager: mwm
What were you trying to do?
backspace over my last character.
specificly in zwrite, or sendbug.
vi seems alright though
I'm logged in without customizations, so I don't believe my dotfiles
are at fault.
What's wrong:
it printed ^H and didn't backspace
What should have happened:
it should have deleted the previous character
Perhaps other info:

Type your message now. End with control-D or a dot on a line by itself.
lalala ^H^H^H
my .login and .cshrc are both standard athena issue, but I've been asked
to include them, tb also asked for my (irrelevent .environment) as we're
starting to get to many files, I've dumped several dotfiles into
/mit/seph/linux-athena as it seemed easiest.
how to reproduce:
login without customizations
type zwrite -c test
try using backspace (key with "<-----" printed on it)
