Not sure whether I understood your question.
Are you talking about the 'backspace' key (to go back and edit )?
It depends on your environment,shell.
Try
stty erase \^H

and invoke sqlplus.
If you are talking about fetching the command line history, it is not available by default (in unix). Several alternatives are available, if you can google.
One such.

You can't in SQL*Plus itself.
You can use OS tool for that.
