To MacTerminal beta test sites:

Has anyone experimented with reconfiguring MacTerminal's keyboard?
In particular, how painful is it to make "Delete" (or "Rubout"
if you prefer) an unshifted character?  Backspace is fine for
UNIX, but most DEC operating system use Delete to erase the last
typed character.  This is probably significant enugh to warrant
making it a setup option.

Also, a couple of subtle but rather serious bugs were reported
just recently about "Set Origin Mode" not homing the cursor, and
"Set Margins" homing to the wrong place.  I believe these bugs are
also present in the released version of LisaTerm.  It would be a
pity if they released a buggy MacTerminal too.  Has Apple comfirmed
the existence of these bugs?
