Although I'm heartened to see the usenet activity spurred by
/.'s latest PHB infection, not all the intelligent folks have
left the site.

Due to the constant motion of the delete and backspace keys some decades
ago, and the random quality to the decision as to which one transmitted
^H, I switched to typing backspace with the control key and the H key,
and I haven't found the need to switch back.
The control key on the keyboard I'm typing this on is in a _slightly_
annoying place, but I need to know where the control key is anyway,
so that's not a reason to switch back. And the key in the upper-right
transmits DEL anyway (I just tried it for the first time to see).

writing a "voice-activated syntax-directed editor for manually disabled
programmers" or some kind of SUI anyway. Somebody at southal was doing
research on this. Taht's where the "syntax-directed" bit comes from.
