I'm having trouble with the erase key. For some reason Delete has
stopped working too now (I think it comes up with ^?) and stty erase ^H
doesn't work any more (and yes I am pressing backspace to get the ^H).
Sometimes backspace produces something else besides ^H. Sometimes it
works as erase :-/.

Is there any way of getting the command in my .profile by escaping the
^H? I tried stty erase \x08 as a command, but that stopped x from
working.
