Indeed that is an annoyance which I have discussed with Michael Brutman. He
is a busy chappy but he says he is working on an update this year that will
allow you to set your own preferences. NB Have you noticed you can update
your preferences (per session) by using Alt-B and Alt-N (for backspace and
newline respectively)?. I didn't work that out for a while.

I also note the behaviour differences when moving between systems. For
example, if I telnet into my raspberrypi and then telnet to a bbs from there,
BS and CR work correctly, without even having to change the settings.

Cheers,
Al
