	One nice trick is:
		alias ^H stty erase ^H
		alias ^? stty erase ^?
	Then if your 'erase character' key is incorrect you just type
	'RETURN' <erase key> 'RETURN' and it sets it.

	Note - the ^H and ^? above are actual control characters - if you
	are using vi to edit a .cshrc you'll want to press ^V before them
	to stop vi interpreting them.
