System name:		m11-113-1
Type and version:	POWER 7.3M
Display type:		colorgda

What were you trying to do?
Use the backspace key on the keyboard.
It truly is mapped to the backspace character ^H.

What's wrong:
X key mapping.  Wouldn't it be more logical to put the delete key there, like
it is on every other workstation.

What should have happened:
Should have send a DEL instead of ^H.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
