	I know this isn't the best place to leave this message, but I don't
have any other place where I can ask for help. I'm writing a program under
C in Unix on our NeXT computers here at school. The problem I'm having is
that while I'm logged on the console {or the NeXT itself} the scanf function
will be able to handle the delete key correctly - so if I press the delete
key, it goes back one character. The problem is that if I press the delete
key while I'm logged in through telnet {like from my room} or through
rlogin when I press the delete key, I get a ^? instead. This even occurs when
I rlogin from one NeXT to another. Is there anything I can do to remove this
problem without having to do a more complicated patch? I'm writing it in
Unix/C right now just to be able to get to know how to learn to use these
machines, and then when I'm done, I was going to port it over to the IIs, so
the sooner we can get me going, the sooner we can have a new game!!!
