Backspace only deletes one char. Why would you want it to do more?
I think control-W deletes a word but I never use it.
And the KILL character will delete the whole line. (See stty for yours.)

Re: keyboard backspace problem
PuTTY has a very poor default for the key to erase one character -- it is the DELETE key. Now for Tru64/VMS and other DEC variants, this is perfectly acceptable, but for the rest of us, PuTTY must be reconfigured. It's the first change needed among several.In the PuTTY config menu:
Terminal ---> Keyboard ---> The Backspace Key ---> Control-H (was Control-?, the DELETE key)
So while we're at it, let's fix all the other settings for a more useful terminal emulator:
Session ---> Close Window on Exit: Always Window ---> Columns: 132 Rows: 48 (your choice, but 80 is too small for logs and ioscan) Lines of Scrollback ---> 50000 Appearance ---> Cursor appearance: Block Cursor blinks Font: Lucida Console, 10-point (or Courier, personal choice, 10 point or adjust to fit screen size) Font quality: Clear Type Colours: Font default is gray!! (182, not 255) Set Foreground = 255 255 255 Set Background = personal choice (note: Bold = 255, so bold enhancements will be the same)

Re: keyboard backspace problem
Terminal ---> Keyboard ---> The Backspace Key ---> Backspace key in Keyboard. by default it is set Ctrl+h to delete a character ,. But you can change it to backspace.
