S5 - Backspace Character
Description
S5 holds the decimal value of the ASCII character representing <BS>.
The factory set value is ASCII 08; the range for the register is 0-32, 127.
This character moves the cursor left, removing the previous character. This
value represents the combined operation of three characters (a backspace,
a space, and another backspace), the time allotted to process the backspace
character must not be less than the time required by the modem to transmit
three characters. A repeat-key function may not work properly on backspaces.
