 * 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!
