Believe me, it doesn't work, at least not on a 75.  I tried using backspace.
I tried using ^[D to move the cusor to the left.  I tried everything.
The screen would freak out horribly.  I also tried to get around this on
the Televideo mode of a Wyse 50, but couldn't find a solution there either.

It's a stupid feature.  Magic cookies should have died along with
Beehive International.
