'^v backspace' yields "^H" and '^v delete' yields "^?". The delete 
button functions properly in vi but not the backspace. I've also had 
experience when paging through the history in 'sh -E' that will show the 
correct history but when you attempt to cursor back through and make a 
change some characters from a previous command are seen jumping through 
where the cursor has just moved. Weird
