#42 Fix backspace problem
Many new MOOers connect to Lambda using Microsoft
Telnet and have problems because it doesn't process
backspaces, it just sends them directly to the MOO. The
current MOO server simply ignores these characters,
making life hell for newbies. This small patch allows
the MOO to process backspace and delete characters,
removing characters from the input stream. This should
make the first encounter with the MOO a lot nicer for
many visitors.
Backspace patch
Some form of this is in the mainline LambdaMOO server now (moved to GitHub).
