Using Apple as an example of the majority of keyboards isn't really a suitable model.

For the record, my keyboard is made by Microsoft. The same functionality is on two Toshiba laptops I have here and one Lenovo.

So it must be you.

Absolutely. There was an obscure bug in Ingres OpenRoad in around 1995 where, if you highlighted text in a field and pressed backspace, everything was dandy, if you pressed delete, it looked like everything was dandy but didn't delete the value.

Dunno, mine has a big X on it and deletes letters so where I come from it's a delete key. They ought to name stuff after what it actually does rather than come up with fancy mumbo jumbo. I just want to go out and ask for a pint of talk bollocks, a pack of death and a pound for the how thick am I quiz machine.
