can you, Jim, or Claus, please explain how *ALIASING* Delete and Backspace to do the same thing is "good"?

I'd like to hear more too.

I've been around Unix for a long time, and if I ever saw Delete delete backward, I've forgotten it. (I seem to remember all those keys off to the right being unreliable, long ago.) And I agree that it's not ideal for two keys to do the same thing.

I lean toward making this change -- make Delete delete forward.
