What does "stty -a" show? In particular intr, kill, erase, susp.

[Masud Parvez]

in addition export your terminal --

# export TERM=vt100

Since you are running xterm, you are probably getting the stripped version of the shell rather than a login shell. What that means is that /etc/profile and .profile are skipped (standard yucky behavior of xterm, hpterm and dtterm everywhere). Be sure that you always start a login shell by creating .Xdefaults in your $HOME directory:

echo "*loginShell: true" >> $HOME/.Xdefaults

Then logout and start a new xterm login. Now the standard login profiles be executed where the standard stty commands are located.
