That's not ``Delete'' key, that's the DEL key. That key exists on
Unix keyboards and produces the ASCII 255 code. There's no such key
on a PC keyboard, so the DJGPP port remaps several other keys to
produce the same effect as DEL. You can use one of these:
PageUp -- the obvious one
DEL on the numeric keypad (NOT on the separate edit keypad)
Ctrl-Backspace
ESC v (if you are really desperate)
(The reason for the numeric DEL is that some people use Info on a
laptop where either there's no separate Delete key on the edit keypad,
or it's placed inconveniently.)
