Just to clarify matters...
I wasn't complaining about the limited functionality, only about a change
in the 'stty erase' setting which reduced the functionality still further!
On a Unix system the choice is really a matter of personal preference, but
in the Cygwin environment there are good reasons to use backspace in 
preference to delete.
