to make life easier for emacs, backspace will send $7f instead of $08.

command-backspace will send $08 (as will Control-H).
If you have an extended keyboard, delete will also send $08.
(mame uses delete to toggle keyboard mode so it's not yet tested).

+* The vt100 has a delete key and a backspace key.
+* delete sends 0x7f.  backspace sends 0x08.
+* stty is general set so 0x7f is the erase character.
+* termcaps generally claim 0x08 is the backspace character.
+*
+* emacs, by default, thinks 0x08 ( ^H ) means you want help.
+*
+* so, backspace will send 0x7f.  control-H or command-backspace
+* will send 0x08.
