You don't need to trap the graffiti event. Instead, look for the
backspaceChr keyDown event.
Or, you could do like I did in one of the apps I've written. One of the
forms has a field and a numeric keypad (comprising individual buttons)
with a backspace key. In my event handler for the form, I handle the
keypad button presses by enqueueing keyDown events. For the backspace
key, I just enqueue a backspaceChr keyDown event. That way I can let
the system field handler do all the work.
