Norman,

	I use the vt102 emulation on the Suns here most of the time. The
trick I use for creating a destructive backspace is the following:

At the Sun prompt (assuming unix os):

C-shell: Type the following two commands:

%set term=vt100
%stty erase <backspace>

Bourne Shell: Type the following three commands.

%TERM=vt100
%export TERM
%stty erase <backspace>

The first command(s) for both shells tells the shell what terminal type
you have. If you do not give these commands then unix will probably think
you are working on an ansi terminal.
The last command for both shells sets up the destructive delete. BTW- If
you are using the Bourne Shell I suggest you try switching to the
C-shell instead. 

I hope this helps.
