Summary: parse pull on unix needs a loving hand

Initial Comment:
Whatever is used to read a line in rexxtry on unix needs to do some kind of escape/kill processing.  I am unable to backspace or c-H to correct typing mistakes.

err^?^?^H
  Oooops ! ... try again.     Invalid character in program
                              Incorrect character in program "" ('7F'X)

The three characters after err are backspace, shift backspace, and ctl-H.

Some use the readline library, which also does history so that one can repeat previous lines and edit them to suit.
