Enter this command, but where I show an "x", press CTRL-D and where I
show a "y" press the backspace key:

	stty term x;stty erase y

Those commands change the terminate key to a CTRL-D and changes the
erase character from the DEL key to the backspace key.

So, the whole command would be:

	TERM=vt100;export TERM;tput init;stty term x;stty erase y

(again, replace "x" with a press of CTRL-D and "y" with the backspace
key).
