Just a hint on this command...

Hi.

I was having a minor warning message when my shell started up
when I decided to fix it for good.
Even though things are ok now, I did not figure it out
how the solution works (I read somewhere that this should
work but no explanation for it).

Does someone knows what the IF command is doing below ?

if (( -t 0 )) then
stty erase ^h
endif


Thanks, Serg.

Cool



if standard input is opened on a terminal, then set erase character to back-space.

PS: 'endif' should actually be 'fi'
