Right. Just noted that for "completeness", and in case I was missing something there.

In the keyboard setup area -- the one that is suggested for use in defining the SSH
port forwarding commands.

Aha! I trapped myself in the glitz and glamour of the GUI interface, rather than
sticking exclusively with the commands. :-)
I had completely forgotten that my *own* k95custom.ini would still get executed, even
though I was going through the GUI Dialer to start the session. In there, I was
explicitly setting the key to transmit a BS. (This, from the old days when I usually
did want a BS sent by that key.) Having been reminded of that, I'll have to look
through it for other potential "gotchas" that are setting things that I think I'm
setting via the Dialer.
Is there something I can test that would let my k95custom.ini know whether it was
invoked via the Dialer, so it could still set up certain things if it was not?

This corresponds to what I have observed, and I found that commenting out my
k95custom.ini "set key" line has things working as I would have expected. (Yay!)
However, I am confused by your (above) list of execution order. If my k95custom.ini is
being executed before the Dialer script, why isn't the Dialer script command to "set
dialer backspace \127" coming later overruling the earlier "set key"? BTW, commanding
Kermit "help set dialer" does not enlighten. ("set dialer ?" does yield a bit of info.)
Thanks much. I am always impressed by the great support I get for Kermit.
