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.)
