If your termcap description does not contain one of:
	:bs:
	:bc=^H:
	:le=^H:
then your "curses" library may be assuming too much.
Remove any of the above capabilities and install
	:le=whatever-it-takes-to-move-left-one-position:
	:bc=ditto:
and see if things improve.  ("bs" and "bc" are obsolete.)
If not, fix your curses library.
