Hi Francis,
  This depends entirely on the behavior of your .cshrc setup file(s),
and your Terminal.app preferences. On my test machine, VMD works fine
when there's no special 'stty' setting in my .cshrc files. If I add a
"stty erase ^H" in there, then I get the annoying backspace behavior
you describe, as the keyboard I'm using on my test Mac generates the ^?
sequence rather than ^H for example. You can set the Terminal.app
"window settings" -> "keyboard" and change the key mappings to anything
you prefer. They should apply equally to both VMD and to your
normal use of the terminal windows.
