>Description:
The iMac USB keyboard has a "delete" key, top right side of the
keyboard, however the NetBSD/macppc wscons interprets the keycode
from it has BKSP (^H) instead of DEL (^? or 0177 ASCII).
This is wrong. You can always generate ^H from CTRL-H, but a key
labelled "delete" should generate DEL.
