- Hmm... What's at the top of a delete keycap? Of a backspace Keycap? Some of
- you will answer "DEL" & "a left arrow" respectively, others will say "a left
- arrow" & "BS", respectively. You see the problem? A left arrow key could

- It's not a mistake, just different opinions. I used to think like you, until
- we started to use the vt[123]?0 line of terminals some years ago. Now, as
- any sane mind, I only curse non-customizable programs. They're the ones
- which should be haunted, not Stallman or some left-arrow-is-of-course-
- backspace dude. Customization, as always, is the only tie-breaker.
