There seems to be a comflict in ideas concerning the 'backspace' key. In Client
Access/400 the
Backspace key is a 'destructive' backspace. In the 3476, 3477, 3486, 3487
world, it's a
'backspace' non-destructive. It all depends on the implementation
desired/used. Some like the
non-destructive, I like the destructive backspace. What it boils down to is
personal preference
and a programmers nightmare and long nights of lost sleep. I guess that's why
software emulators
have a keyboard mapping files. I guess there could be an improvement here by
allowing an easy
way to configure the keymaps via software. I'm sure you guys have this in your
plans.
I will have to admit, even with the emulators odities, it's a great product
worthy of a pricetag. I've
paid good money for less software.
