DEL character): >Unfortunately some VT100 styled machines >took it to mean 'delete character'. ? The DEC VT100 ignores received ASCI DEL characters. I take this opportunity to point out that it is INCORRECT to transmit padding characters to a terminal if the termcap/terminfo entry does not indicate that padding is needed and supported. In particular an ASCII NUL character is not always ignored by all terminals (I have mine set up to display it, so I can spot bugs in programs that output erroneous characters).
