I have handled this *annoyance* for years with
stty erase ^H

Trust me, having grown up on DEC and Wyse terminals, I know how to set the
[BACKSPACE] to do [DEL].

Why? Delete is the proper key to use for doing a step back; this ain't PC
land where they confused DEL (destructive) and Backspace (non destructive)
with Backspace (delete left) and DEL (delete under). I *never* want to
delete what is to the right of the cursor.

Hi Dirk and Joerg,

The best Solution I am currently aware is to use rxvt which locally
maps the BACKSPACE key event to a DEL key event.
stty or xmodmap?

DEL is the correct way to go.
The problem is that the PC keyboards are not ergonomic and have
the BACKSPACE key where DEL belongs.
If you reassign BNACKSPACE to deelete characters, then many things
will not longer work correctly.
