On re-reading this thread in the cold light of day, I realise that Fred
is correct (of course!). I should have written: I believe that you need
to check that the line

	Delete		DeleteRight

is present in the BaseMode ModeFile.

Here StrongED 4.69a1 is running on both RO 6.20, on a RiscPC, and RO
4.39, on RPCEmu. On both machines the 'PC delete' configure option is
ticked. On both installations the 'Delete' key behaves as expected, in
StrongED, and in other applications.

I wonder whether Chris is running KeyMod (or any similar progam) which,
in my experience, causes the Delete key to misbehave.
