This is normal behavior when “backspace sends delete” is turned on. It can also cause the last character in some text entry fields to disappear. Turning it off depends on which product you’re using:

TERM for UNIX or DOS
Execute this TERM Script Language command:

SET BSDEL OFF

TinyTERM for Windows version 3.x or earlier,
and TERM for Windows
Go to the Configure menu and select Emulation. Clear the BACKSPACE key sends DELETE check box.

TinyTERM for Windows version 4.0x
Edit the .tpx file using any text editor. Search for the line:

destbs=1

Change the 1 to a 0 (zero). Save the file. The change will take effect the next time you start TinyTERM.

TinyTERM for Windows version 4.1x or higher
In the Session Properties, go to the Keyboard tab. Clear the Destructive Back Space check box.

CR 98, default changed in TinyTERM 4.20
CR 160, .tpx files changed
CR 375, UI added
