[GreenKeys] Why have local reverse line feed and local backspace?

[Nick England]

These are LOCAL functions only. So they dont transmit anything if you are
talking to a remote printer. I guess if you wanted to just use your 28KSR
like a standard typewriter they could be handy. Not sure I’ve ever seen
that in practice….

There were mods to add remote use of these functions via stunt box so that
someone else could make your machine go backwards. But my machines do not
have these mods.
