What is the point of making the keyboard look just like a PC keyboard, if you then make the backspace key perform a CTRL-H and the Delete key perform a Backspace?! AAAAARGH! Has this been fixed yet? mathew. [ I _know_ that in a pedantic ASCII sense, backspace was not originally the same as backspace-and-delete; but every single PC out there (and most other machines as well) makes 'backspace' delete the character backspaced over, and makes Delete delete the character to the _right_ of the cursor. ]
