# ZX-TERM*80 Modification for use with MichTron BBS Program

NNN does not recognize Delete (ASCIl 7Fh = 127d) when DEL is sent. To delete last character sent you must use BS (Backspace = ASCIl 08h). Here are two ways to get a BS.

The easiest way is to send a CONTROL H (shift 3 then H). This works well if you are a reasonably good typist, and catch your mistakes shortly after making them.
