I think this is now a problem of the application reading
from the keyboard, and how it handles control-H vs.
ascii DEL.

For example, bash, tcsh and ksh delete the
character to the left of the cursor when they read
control-H or ascii DEL.

Same with the command line editor integrated into
mdb, or the one in gdb.

For /bin/sh and /bin/csh, it depends on the "stty erase" setting.

Etc...
