Or a text editor that won’t allow it:
stty erase ″; cat >>myessay
If you still want backspace, you can omit the first bit of that. If you still want to be able to edit within the current line:
rlwrap cat >>myessay
Edited to add:
Not that I necessarily think this is a good idea, but it might be an interesting thing to experiment with.
rlwrap is especially useful if you have a tendency to say almost exactly the same thing over and over again. Just press the up arrow, and a copy of what you wrote before appears, allowing you to say almost exactly the same thing over and over again.
Actually, never mind, that’s silly.
