Is it possible to have both the backspace and delete keys be erase?  My problem
is that on the Sun Console my pinkie goes to the key that generates the ^?,
but on the terminal in my office my pinkie goes to the key that generates a ^H.
Of course, my .login has a line like "stty erase (`tty` == console) ? ^? : ^H"
(I know, you can't use that syntax in a .login, it's an example) but when I
start doing rlogins things get confused.  The operating system is standard
Sun UN*X 4.3.  Thanks.
