Be gentle ... I'm a big-time Linux/Unix beginner.

My Unix class is actually working on Linux RedHat 5.2.  I
telnet to the server from home.  A friend and I are playing with
talk and write to send messages back and forth.  I think we've
got talk down, but here's the problem with write:  How, if at
all, do I correct my butterfinger typing when I'm sending a write
message?  When I backspace, the bad typing remains and I get
a ^H in addition to it.  Any way around that?
