The MSKERMIT.INI normally re-defines the backspace key (_bs) as \127, not as
\4 = ^D as in your case. You can easily experiment with key definitions by
entering "sh key" and "set key" from the MS-Kermit prompt. Maybe there
are good reasons for your ^D configuration of the backspace key. If your
remote computer runs UNIX, you can simply enter
stty erase KEYSTROKE
with KEYSTROKE meaning, press your backspace key, and whatever its key
definition, it will then work correctly at the command line (without
changing the key's function in application programs).
