AH HA!

Thank you for explaining where this "delete-right"
brain damage comes from.  

Now... how do we fix programs suffering from this
"delete-right" brain damage so that the "Delete" key
does the correct "delete-left" function?  I'm thinking
mainly of web browsers like links -g and mozilla.

(On an X terminal talking via Ethernet, presumably no
wscons involved.)

I do not want a delete-right.
Micros**t can fly a kite.
I do not need a penguin pram.
I do not want it, Sam I am.
