The Delete key sends the Delete character (\127) unless you tell it
otherwise. The other common choice is Backspace (\8). If neither
of these work for you, then you are probably facing a host or
application that wants something else. Kermit does not know what
your application wants -- it is up to you to make them agree.
The trick is to either:
(a) Find out what the application wants and then use SET KEY to
assign the desired sequence to the desired key, or:
(b) Reconfigure the application to accept a different character
as a destructive backspace.
Some applications actually want you to send the following sequence
in order to do a destructive backspace: \8\32\8 - try that. Or try
the arrow-key equivalent, \27OD\32\27OD, or \27[D\32\27[D.
