DELETE key bug in NOTES?

Pardons in advance if this is a previously-reported problem (I am 
fairly new to USEnet/notes): 

I set my character erase to the DELETE key, since I also access VMS 
systems here. When in a "subprompt", such as "s" (for save note to 
UNIX file), every time I use the DELETE key I lose two characters per
keystroke. 

With enough DELETE keystrokes, I end up deleting the prompt! 

Does anyone have a simple fix for this problem? If not, I'll go ahead
& try to hack it out myself. 

Thanx,
