[NCLUG] Re: Backspace

[Steve Roths]

This question is interesting to me, too.  When I run sqlplus in the gterm
window, I cannot backspace to correct a misspelled line and have to reenter
the whole command.  I know some of you are oracle users, is this a common
problem? Is there a workaround? (besides composing in some text editor and
pasting in)
