    also, on irix 4.05 i cannot edit unicode characters with the new 9term
    i can, however edit unicode with the old 9term. for example:
    
    ; <unicode smiley> <delete>echo fu
    <unicode undefiled char> <unicode undefined char>echo not found

It sounds like the terminal is operating in raw mode.  This can
happen if your terminal settings are weird or when you're connected
to another machine using telnet or rsh.  It does raise the point that
perhaps 9term should send multiple backspaces when backspacing over
a multibyte character.  Comments?
