I'm evaluating Telix as a terminal emulator.  Ideally, I should
have a vt100 terminal by Telix does vt102 instead.  When I try to
do a backspace, it gives me a "^H" instead.  To get a destructive
backspace, I have to hit "^-bksp".  I understand the Procomm+
test drive has the same situation.
I can redefine the backspace key to be a delete, but I don't know
the characters to enter.
Can anyone tell me the character representation of a backspace
(or a destructive backspace?)
Email me your responses, so it doesn't clog the net.
Many thanks!
