* I actually get *much* more irritated when I hit the BackSpace key, and
* Emacs gives me:
*
* C-h (Type ? for further options)-
YES! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
_*DAMMIT*_!!! I *_HATE_* that! (emacs19.30 is kind enough to let you
actually bind to [backspace], at least on a Sun!)
*
* That's why I'd like things to stay as they are.
Please!
