I would agree if I hadn't wasted a support call to sco. After 3 months, they couldn't get the delete mappings to be consistent even with their own software. They finally threw in the towel and said they couldn't do anything else. The delete key is hacked up between the numeric pad and the keyboard. The config files will work on a certain keyboard but not another. I finally just both PowerTerm even though I need it on the SCO box too.
