Msg 45770 is 07 line(s) on 10/01/92 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to RANDY IMAGEN re: BACKSPACE Another use complained that backspace didn't work. THEIR problem was that they were using VT-100 emulation, and pressing a left-arrow, which sends, true to VT-100 emulation, and escape, left bracket, then some alpha char. CBBS is designed for ESC to cancel the line, just as it is in a PC, so the left-arrow VT-100 key is seen as an ESC then some other chars. Please don't give up on CBBS, just pick a terminal emulation that sends an honest-to-goodness backspace - ^H, 08 hex, etc. Msg 45771 is 04 line(s) on 10/01/92 from ERIC BOHLMAN to CLIFF SHARP re: GOOF-PROOFING Give Jerry Olsen a buzz over at the Advocate, 312-939-4411 by modem (he often logs on here, but I think he's up against some article deadlines).
