There is an even easier way to do it....just enter the following commands
(note:  the ^? is <carat><?> --- same for the ^H)

$ stty intr '^?'
$ stty erase '^H'

and, of course, the $ is your prompt.  this could be added to your .profile
(or .login, .cshrc, .bashrc, etc.) and would be executed each time someone
logs on.


for more info on this, just type "man stty" for the man pages.
