142: How do I type DEL on PC terminal emulators? Some IBM PC compatibles do not have a key labeled `Del' or `Delete' {is ! this true?}. Those that do generally have it in an inconvenient location. ! (Also, in some terminal emulators, the `Del' key does not transmit DEL.) ! The result is the standard "BackSpace invoking help" problem (see question ! 135). + + The usual solution, suggested by Michael Covington + , is to somehow tell the terminal emulator + program that BackSpace should transmit DEL. Read the program's manual. + Shift-BackSpace or Control-BackSpace may send DEL. The `Del' key may only + send DEL if the NumLock key hasn't been pressed. +
