On this machine, when you press the backspace in an xterm, you get this:

klee% 5~55~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5~5

...which is probably a bad thing.  This problem had been reported for the
workstation Wright (#25) in 9-550, but when Lou visited no problem was found.\
I think someone switched the keyboard off of Wright onto Klee.

In any event, I'm sitting at Klee and it does have the problem.  I've made a
note saying its key is bad, so I don't think anyone will switch it before it
gets fixed.

Thanks as ever for the wonderful service!
