Backspace in editing "less" command line...

[Hannu E K Nevalainen (garbage mail)]

$ less anything
/test^H^H^H^H

$ LESSCHARSET=ascii
or latin1 doesn't matter.

$ man less
/BACKSPACE
...
BACKSPACE
       Delete the character to the left of the cursor,  or  cancel  the
       command if the command line is empty.
...

BS is obviously considered a NON-editing key...(!?)
sam goes for:
 ^LEFTARROW, ^RIGHTARROW, HOME, END, ^BS, ^DEL, TAB, BACKTAB, ^L
