But what does the RUB key do?

- mmphosis 9y agoRUB. When the RUB (rubout) key is typed while holding down the SHIFT key, a non-displayable rubout code (ASCII DEL) is transmitted to the computer. The cursor is not advanced and the character code stored in display memory is not overwritten. RUB is normally used to tell the computer that a previous character should be deleted. https://amaus.net/static/S100/learSiegler/terminal/Lear%20Siegler%20ADM3A%20operators%20manual.pdf https://amaus.net/static/S100/learSiegler/terminal/Lear%20Si...

You could use it to actually edit the tape by feeding the tape back into the punch, if you created slack space with some NULs, which didn't punch any holes at all. RUBOUT the characters you didn't want, and punch the replacements into the NUL spaces. Important to remember that ASR-33s weren't designed to be use with computers.
