 And what of keyboards without a key named "backspace"? My computer (an
 Apple) only has a "delete" key. The Sun keyboards I've used only had a
 second left-arrow key in an unusual location. They are not *named*
 "backspace", they are *named* "delete" and "left-arrow", respectively.
 Shall we assume that mutt must know this, somehow?
