Fred is right about the key substitutions, but forgot to mention that the F7 key is also mapped to ^H (backspace) in addition to the home key. It's pretty easy to remember to use F7 for backspace, especially on a 128 because it's way up there on the right corner (where a backspace key ought-ta be). The important thing to note is that ASCII backspace and DEL are not the same key, and some operating systems use one or the other to mean "I didn't really mean to type the last character". Also, the original poster said that pressing the DEL key sent a ".", which does not sound right in any case. Could be he has a botched binary. Sincerely, Frank Prindle Prindle@NADC.arpa

This showed up in the editor I used to put together my posting (vi), but did not show up when posted to the newsgroup (should have double-checked)... Thanks for the help & advice - I'll check into `termcap' on the UNIX side and see if I can redefine the key mapping. -Ron
