Whatever, I can access my coco3, either via a serial cable to /t2, or via a 
bluetooth gizmo, Rogers EB-101 carrying rs232 pack by running a shell on /t3, 
and the same backspace key works fine there.  There are some other keys that 
generate errors & shell restarts, but the backspace isn't one of them.  The 
up-arrow to repeat a command in the shell history does not work, but I assume 
I could probably setup a fix using stty if I actually knew what I was doing, 
which I obviously don't. :)

And I take it the protagonists have agreed to disagree...  OTOH, the unice's 
were here first. ;)
