This patch only changes the keystroke generated by Backspace (in fact
the patch does that the key generates a BACKSPACE character). With the
vanilla configuration you can generate a DELETE character using Delete
key.
If you use Delete, the prblem is fixed?, and if you execute stty erase
before of running ed and try again with backspace?
