Fine for you - but I log in to VMS as well as UNIX.   That expects a 'real'
delete.   Of course I can use the keypad DELETE key, but my fingers are used
to the <--- key being <DEL>  (as that's how it is on a real VT100).   Can
Win3 Terminal be made to do that?

Two more Win3 Terminal questions:

1- How do you send a BREAK ?  (I need to do this before our system notices
   me and allows a login).

2- How do you make VT100 emulation use the AT keyboard keypad in
   as-near-as-possible emulation of the VT100 one?   (I accept that I'll
   have to map the PF[1..4] keys as F1..F4 or similar).

In the meantime, I'm going back to Kermit under DOS!
