The problem is the delete vs back space problem.  Some system use delete;
other systems use back space.  (Some programs are nice and take both.)
Kermit (C64) sends a delete for the INST/DEL key.  It sends a backspace
for CLR/HOME.  (Kermit on my PC sends a delete for backspace and a
backspace for ^H; at least the C64 version gives you a key.)
