I tried to edit a message I was sending with zwrite. Backspacing over
the characters appears to delete them, but when the message is sent, the
backspaces are interpreted as characters and are sent as octal \010
(CTRL-H). In other words, a message I type in as follows:
[63]% zwrite ckclark
Type your message now. End with control-D or a dot on a line by itself.

will appear like this (in emacs zwgc)

Calvin Clark <ckclark@splat>
and like this (in the X zwgc)

(Actually, I faked that previous line. I wanted to cut the message from
the X zephyrgram and paste it into emacs, but zwgc dumps core on any
attempt of selection on an RS/6000---a subject I'll reserve for another
bug report.)
