Bug in NEW tvx for Atari ST

	There is a bug in the terminal description for the ATARI ST
in the version of TVX just posted to mod.sources.  In file
tvx_term.ic, in the definition for the Atari (#ifdef ATARI520),
change the one line:
    EXTERN char cdelchr[8]={27,'M',0,0,0,0,0,0};	/* delete char on screen */
to:
    EXTERN char cdelchr[8]={0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};	/* delete char on screen */

This was caused by trying to maintain source for too many machines!  I
just didn't get the real atari entry back up to the vax before I posted.
Sorry about that! The bogus entry will cause TVX to erase the entire
line rather than just one character.  Zeroeing it makes the code use
a different delete character algorithm.  The delete character code is
new from the January posting, and really helps on dialups.  The change
is insignificant on fast screens.
