"Freezing" and "unfreezing" window
To "freeze": Ctrl-A s
. To "unfreeze": Ctrl-A q

(doesn't get confused with xterm's Ctrl-S

If, in a recently reattached session, if your backspace prints character

to delete the
character before, like said here:

But if you still want to use the Backspace key normally, use the stty command, like I saw in the article linked below:
stty erase ^?
