I just finished a cursory evaluation of Kermit 0.9(40) and found one rather
fatal flaw.  There is no option to make the delete key send a backspace
rather than a delete character.  While many of our mainframes (if not most)
accept, or can be made to accept the delete key, we have a few that
require use of the backspace character.  While I guess you *can* use
control-h, that's sort-of tedious.  For those of you who wrote this program,
how about an option to change this (rather as VersaTerm of MacTerminal
does)?
