BACKSPACE Key

To backspace destructively over a text string. Synonym: CTRL+H.

Key Operation

BACKSPACE

Typing backspace in a Text String

Because BACKSPACE is a command in insert mode, you cannot type it into a text string by pressing BACKSPACE. To enter a backspace character (X'08'), use the H command to enter hexadecimal mode, then type in the literal string 08.
