Can anybody tell me how to send a delete-character (ASCII hex 7F, octal 177)
to the serial port from the definition of a function-key ?
I am using V2.0e11. I tried using the delete-key, but it deletes the last
char from the definition. I tried send('\177') , which gives an error, since
the char foillowing the backslash is not zero. I tried send('\0177'), which
sends ctrl-N followed by the character 7, since \0 can only be followed by
2 more digits.

Thanks ahead for sharing your knowledge.
