- What cockup? The Backspace key generates the backspace character and the
- Delete key generates the Delete character. It's up to the applications
- to respond to these ACSII codes as they see fit - it's nothing to do
- with the OS. In this here copy of SrcEdit when I press the Backspace key
- it deletes the character to the left of the caret. QED.
