- You probably need to set the backspace setting in the te2.ini file for
- non-destructive. I use te2 to log on to a unix machine and run VI under unix.
- VI expects to have a non-destructive cursor. This setting is in the
- emulator settings of the .ini file. I am using the VT-100 emulator and have
- had no problems with it.
