Which is intresting. Both on console and in xterm erase is ^?. I suspect
this is some sort of bug somewhere in some Linux thingy that has to do
with X, rather than something to do with dsmadmc. Now I was hoping for
somebody tot tell me that he/she tested this on eg. RedHat and found
that things do work over there, or not.
I assume that dsmadmc does part of it's terminal handling itself rather
than leaving that to the os. Erase (backspace) does work as expected in
X when I enter my username/password, it breaks once I'm on the TSM
prompt...
