I can't get telix to do what I want it to (v3.11).  Specifically, there is an
option while dialing: "BS key sends."  To log into my UNIX account, I want it
to send a DEL.

The only way I can see to get telix to perform this swap is when I dial. If,
for example, I exit telix with a connection still going, and start a new
copy of telix that picks up the connection to the UNIX host, the backspace key
will be sending backspaces again. I can find no option to fix this.  Is there
a way I can coerce the key mapping functions to do it? What is the funky
sequence I tell the key mapper to send a delete? (it says that ^@ is null, for
example. What is delete?)

This comes up as sometimes the VT102 emulation gets a little confused in telix,
and I have to exit and restart to repair it.
