While we're on the topic of Mac OS X....

When I've run groovysh, I've noticed that it doesn't handle the 
backspace (excuse me, "delete" on a Macintosh keyboard) correctly. 
Instead of deleting the character to the left of the cursor, it outputs 
"^H", which yes, I know is ASCII 8. The question is how to get groovysh 
to recognize that as a backspace character.

I've had this problem when ssh'ing to Unix boxes, and have fixed it by 
tinkering with termcap files and/or the value of the TERM environment 
variable. Any suggestions on what to do for groovysh?
