After building the world and also building and installing X from 
sources of June 9, the backspace key on my (Apple USB) keyboard 
generates ~. ctrl-H works alright though, and backspace seems to work 
OK in for example xemacs. Clues, anyone? This is on a macppc machine.
Best regards,
Hans-Christian
