Why does (FLATC '^H) return 1??? ... If it goes to the trouble to figure out
that a backspace is not like most ctrol-chars (with a 2: the "^" and the
control'd char), then why can't it at least special case it to something
useful? The only reasonable use of FLATC is to determine if there is enuf
space someplace to print something, and you this makes that one use very
difficult ... sigh. Can this be remedied? Thanx. KMP
