TCSH issue

[Dave Babb]

Good Morning All,

Upon a recommendation of a fellow and very experienced FreeBSD user...I 
have switched from bash to tcsh as my user shell.  I have not and will 
not change the root's shell from sh.

But regardless if I am at a CLI or in a terminal window on my "X" based 
desktop, tcsh is behaving strange. sh has the same issue.

Let me explain: If I fat finger something into the cli....lets say 
"freeecolor -om"....If I was to place my cursor on the last "e" and 
backspace...everythings fine...However if I put my cursor on that same 
letter and press the delete key...it doesn't delete the letter, rather 
it inserts a tilde "~". "sh" behaves the same way on my system.

Does anyone know how I can correct this behavior?

FreeBSD 10.0-Release-p9, x64.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.


Sincerely and respectfully,


Dave
