line 93 and 102 of curses/textpad.py

could you replace the backspace's specific chars codes by using this dedicated curses' function retrieving the currently in-use char's code ?

ord( curses.erasechar( ))

this one would make specific erase char specified to term supported, unlike curses.ascii.BS, curses.KEY_BACKSPACE that are specifics to most configurations indeed.

at least adding the curses.ascii.DEL char's code seems legit na ?

@emeaudroid please accept our apologies for the delay in getting back to you.  Can someone take a look at this please as I don't have a *nix box to play with.

This has also been reported in Issue23598 including a patch to add DEL as suggested.  I have little experience with curses so I don't have any insight as to pros and cons of using erasechar() rather than the hardcoded BS and DEL chars.  A test would be nice if someone has a creative approach for creating one.  I see that a patch for Issue13051 contains a suggested test for another problem with curses.textpad; perhaps it could be adapted.
