     Dear fellow gnu-supporters,

I have recently been attempting to use the gnu version of
emacs but have encountered a major difficulty:  My erase
character has been interpreted as "delete" rather than
"backspace."  Please note that my terminal emulation is
vt102 on my IBM-compatible xt computer.  I have thus
far been unable to successfuly employ/find the
appopriate settings using the seterm and term commands.
I hope I will not be forced to program my communications
software to interpret the backspace key as a delete
key because I am using "backspace" as my delete
character on all of my accounts.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my problem.
Please accept my sincere appoligies if I have inadertantly
posted it to the wrong forum.

Please send repy's to "cb147@cleveland.freenet.edu" to
save bandwidth, unless you think the answer would be
useful to other readers of this newsgroup.
Thanks again.

Sincerely,

       David
