I logged on to MCI's free registration number, and registered as
"myself" and as Richard Falken.  Depending on their credit checks,
you may soon send mail to "JOSHUA"; I couldn't remember Richard
Nixon's social security number so I used 111-11-1111.  Apologies to
the possible owner of that number.

On a more serious note, they tell you that ^H will erase mistaken
characters, and they use a ^H space ^H to echo them.  They also
provide (undocumented) ^W for word erase, and ^X or ^U for line
kill.
