Subj:  'Delete' key problem...               92-01-28 23:10:56 EST

On my IIgs, the DELETE key will let me back up to correct typing mistakes while working in BASIC.SYSTEM.  On my IIe, the DELETE key just causes those funny looking rubout squares to print, I have to use the left arrow key to back up.  I used ProSel 16 to compare the files and they're the same.

What gives...

That's what gives. :)

The GetLn routines were modified in the Apple IIgs and Mac LC IIe card ROMs so that delete does a leftarrow instead, which is much more pleasing as you've noticed.
