It is an easy question, but I cannot find the answer without you ;-)


I just installed FreeBSD 2.1.7 from the Walnut Creek CDROM. It is my first touch with FreeBSD,
I tried many things I learnt from Linux, but, .....

How can I set it, that the key 'Backspace' will do a backspace rather than type ^H ?

In Linux I can do a tab to finish the file name, does such function exist in FreeBSD 
as well? (tab does not work for this.)

In Linux you can pipe a command to |less  this seems not work in FreeBSD. Is there another
way to limit the output (last |less)?
