Rman, linux, and stty command

Question

I am on redhat linux 4. Rman 10.2
When I hit backup I get a ^H to get rid of this in sqlplus I do
SQL> ! stty erase ^H
I know about stty erase ^H in my .
This gives me an error in rman. How do I configure so I can do a backspace? I am able to backspace from bash itself. So I don't know if it is a bash_profile issue or not.

rman is a different CLI tool than sqlplus and supports different client commands. It does not have an equivalent sqlplus's host (or <i>!</i>) command.
How do I configure so I can do a backspace? I am able to backspace from bash itself. So I don't know if it is a bash_profile issue or not. Sounds like an environment or shell issue. What is your default shell? Make sure its +/bin/bash+ and not an "inferior" shell.
If you are using bash, how does your +$HOME/.bash_profile+ look? It must be doing something funny to the environment.
