Doesn't work here.  If you happen to have done an "stty erase '^?'" it
does at least delete a character, but it leaves you in a different place
depending on whether you were at the end of a line or not.  I think that
you really need xa if you are at the end of a line, xi otherwise.
Anyone else have a solution?
