Well, actually, the more I look at this (though I completely
agree with you about "proper Delete") I'm not sure that is the
"problem".  As near as I can now tell, the "problem" is that
wsksymdef.h does not define 0x01-0x07, and Zbigniew would like to
be able to assign 0x04 to a key.  I don't think any of us have an
issue with him assigning whatever he wants to whatever keys he
wants on his own system.  I guess the remaining questions are:

	1) Do we have a good reason for not having included ASCII
           (ISO Latin1) NUL, SOH, STX, ETX, EOT (this is the one
           he's after), ENQ, ACK, and BEL in our ASCII (ISO
           Latin1) KeySym declaration; and,

        2) If the answer to 1 is "no", do we want to include
           any/all of those in an upcomming release.

Cheers,
Chris
