Without it, `B backspace' will not work. OK. I don't know XEmacs, I wouldn't know. On Emacs, and (by default) generate the DEL ascii character in much the same way as generates the TAB ascii character. In Emacs, it is possible to rebind to forward-char, say, but C-i still retains the old meaning. I don't really believe that people turn off the effect that and C-i are the same thing, and in the same way I'd be surprised to hear that people want to turn off the effect that and DEL (is that `C-?'?) are the same thing. The key is a different matter altogether. I think I'm going to install XEmacs at home to see what it is like in this respect. kai -- Abort this operation? [OK] [Cancel]
