Why do I get this 'Erase is backspace' message after I do a reset in xterm?

Question

So when I do a reset in xterm I get something like this:

Erase is backspace.
[omarg@computer]:

I've already checked my .bashrc and .Xdefaults files but it doesn't seem like that message is being invoked from there.

This message comes from reset itself, have a look at the source or to be more precise the report function.

Please be aware that the official homepage is http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ and not the linked repository.

Woah thanks a lot, reset -Q did the trick. It's just a matter of creating an alias. (: – omar G Jan 5 at 21:30
