The DELETE key in AppleWin does the same thing. Both work.

I'll post this again in case he didn't hear you... he will need to write his 
own string routines to use DELETE instead of chr$(8) because C routines like 
gets() that are already available to him use chr$(8) so he can't use them.

/* keypress values for the apple */
#define RTARROW  21
#define LTARROW  8
#define UPARROW  11
#define DNARROW  10
#define ESCAPE   27
/*  What is called Backspace on a PC is called Delete on an Apple. */
#define DELETE   127
/* What is called Return on an Apple is called Enter on a PC... */
#define ENTERKEY 13
#define SPACEBAR 32
