| Says me Part Two, but I see now it's an Anziowin issue.  Here's my test

| ::end:
| @KEYT::x(1,*)=waitkey:
| ::errorbox @sk:
| ::goto @keyt:

Using Anzio Lite v15.1 on a Windows XP box, connecting to an
SCO OSR 6.0.0 system running filePro 5.0.14, executing your
processing table code example, the Backspace key returns BKSP
and the Left Arrow returns CLFT.  I have Anzio set to emulate
the SCO version of an ansi terminal.

In the shell the Backspace key is seen as ^H.
