Operation of the delete key [ ] depends on how the
PROTOCOL OPTS parameter is set in the PEN*KEY com-
puter’s firmware. The key either sends a delete (DEL, 7F
hexadecimal) or a backspace (BS, 08 hexadecimal).
To change from delete mode to backspace mode, open the
firmware by pressing [Gold]+[M]. Then select the following
options in this order: SET-UP PARMS (password:
CR52401), PROTOCOL OPTS, VT220, DEL TO BS.
