The fix is this: put

	keymap=default.tbl

in config.tel just after the line

	name=default

and then put

	set key 703 \000

in the new file default.tbl.  I got this from Brad Clements
<bkc@omnigate.clarkson.edu>.

Sigh - why not include the ability to type all the ASCII characters in the
standard release?
