I love it! Do you mind if I use this? :-)
More seriously, I had overlooked the SET TERMINAL KEY stuff. SET KEY on steroids!
Anyway, if I read you correctly, the private command is setting the preferred default
value for the backspace key per the GUI interface choice. However, since I had an
explicit "set key" in the init file, that was overriding the default value being read
in later in the initialization process. Since the later command was only for setting
the default value, it did not override the explicit value I had already set. I imagine
that a SET TERMINAL KEY command would have also been used in preference to the private
command's default setting.
