Normally, I use ^H as the erase key and DEL as the interrupt character.
NN, however, will not do erase processing when it prompts me for filenames,
newsgroups, etc. It will when I change the erase character to DEL
and the interrupt character to ^C.

Bug or feature?

NN 6.3 patchlevel 4 on an AT&T 3B2/600 running System V release 3.1.1.
