backspace key

[Charles Hallenbeck]

I get the same behavior using pico. Also when adding new text with
cursoring turned on it says "space" after each keystroke rather than the
char being typed. When exiting pico with "control X" I also hear
"space" rather than the prompt message for saving changes.
