ZCOMM's terminal emulation does not have destructive backspace.
When this function is needed, the backspace key is remapped to
send a backspace character and then perform a local destructive
backspace.

When using ZCOMM with Unix, use ZCOMM's "display vt100" command
and set the shell TERM variable to 5245, or vt102.  If 5245
isn't supported by termcap, vt100 may be used.
