What were you trying to do?
Make backspace work, for a user.
What's wrong:
If I take a clean test account, and login with the gnome interface,
backspace does the right thing, in gnome terminal.
If in the same test account, I choose the "dash interface" menu item,
and login again, backspace doesn't work right in the xterm I get.
I see ^?, and ^H actually deletes.
I verified lack of weirdness in the user's dotfiles, and decided on
a conditional (checking for `machtype` == linux) calling stty in her
.cshrc.mine, as a temporary fix.
