 On a real VT100 you cannot get the delete key to generate a backspace. He
 must be pressing the backspace key, or he's not using a VT100 at all, but
 instead some emulator, which isn't doing things the VT100 way... 
Of course.  I've spent too long using my VT420.  A real VT102 has separate
delete and backspace keys.  Probably he's using some not-really-VT102
emulation in an xterm window or some emulator.
