	Kermit has several delete keys.  I believe "INST/DEL" is ASCII
delete ($7F), while F7 is Backspace ($08).  CLR/HOME may be another
key, as you mention, but I don't know.

	Various systems respond in different ways.  Some systems want
a DEL code, others will accept backspace.  I'm mildly used to using F7
here for a delete.

	In any case, they are different codes and I suspect your
favorite UNIX system can be tuned to accept something that is
acceptable to you.
