 The problem is this: I want the 'backspace' key to function as the 'ESC'
 key does. However, I am not able to re-map the 'backspace' key in all
 situations. Neither the 'edit keys' interface nor the MythWeb interface
 are able to re-map the functionality of the 'ESC' key in all situations.
 Work-arounds exist but are not suitable (e.g. I don't use lirc). As an
 example of the problematic behavior, the re-mapped 'backspace' key does
 not operate as expected in the info screen; i.e. press 'i' key to bring up
 the information on a recording. The re-mapped 'backspace' key does not
 clear the screen; only by pressing the 'ESC' key can this screen be
 cleared. This inconsistency in the behavior of the 'backspace' key lowers
 the WAF.  Thank you.
