Now nice that he linked to my simh installation instructions :) The best way to use ancient UNIX is to tell your terminal emulator backspace is BS and delete is DEL, then just use stty (you don't have to use caret notation btw, a literal BS/^U/whatever works too). And of course if you use a "real" terminal like an ADM-3A (of vi fame) you don't even have a backspace key and have to actually press Ctrl-H.
