[GreenKeys] What is going on here?

[Daniel Jones]

I have the backspace in a KTR and a 192a and for the life of me can’t figure out what is is good for.   If you back space a punched set it just shoves the partial chads back through.  When run through a TD it usually records what ever was punched originally regardless of the back space.
