No local system administrator?

Try "stty erase <delete>", where <delete> means you hit the delete key.
I'll bet that hitting Ctrl-H will back up a space when <delete> doesn't work.

I don't think this has much to do with curses; it's more the Mach line
discipline.  Try "stty all" or "stty everything" for some other interesting
stuff.
