Rick:

Thanks for responding.  Curiously, my BACKSPACE key is a DELETE key on
the system in question.  On this machine (also slink), it is identical
to yours (i.e. a BACKSPACE key).  The 'xev' output for the former is:

  At ve6cta, the BACKSPACE key generates

  KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
  root 0x26, subw 0x0, time 440073742, (170,167), root:(205,222),
  state 0x0, keycode 22 (keysym 0xffff, Delete), same_screen YES,
  XLookupString gives 1 characters:  ""

  KeyRelease event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
  root 0x26, subw 0x0, time 440073792, (170,167),
  root:(205,222), state 0x0, keycode 22 (keysym 0xffff, Delete),
  same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters:  "" 

So now the question becomes, where do I reset it?

Regards,

Dean
