In V8.3 (IIRC - perhaps V8.3-1H1?) you can SET TERM/DEL=BACK (I think I have 
that the right way) and the terminal driver will treat BACKSPACE as DELETE.

This was done to deal with the typical "VT100+" type connection from EFI. 
So I can leave my terminal emulator setup to send BACKSPACE when I'm in the 
shell, and when I get to the VMS prompt at login I don't have to change the 
emulator setting - since BS will be treated as DEL.
