MSNCP have backspace support (it's have a textarea with full keys support like up, down, left, right, delete, insert, backspace, home, end, ^U, ^W).
Python/NCurses have a bug, I'm using curses.KEY_BACKSPACE to detect the backspace key, but this only works with ^H as basckspace key, not with ^?. Try with this combination.
On next release I will add support for both key combinations; but support of backspace key is on MSNCP since alpha version.

No backspace support makes using this not a plesent idea. Nice work tho but you really need to update the readme with program information like what the letters next to the contacts mean.
