Delete is ascii 127.  Backspace is ascii 8.  You're welcome.

There is one alternative that I know of. It is from Best Electronics.
It looks a little more ergonomic than the Atari mouse. No price was listed.
 
Best Electronics

PS: 50$ is not too bad for an Atari mouse.

Subject: UPSET!!
 
Now I'm really upset..I have this great looking modula 2 compiler that I just
got FTP'd from terminator..only one problem...its all in German..I cant figure
anything out..Not even sure of the correct paths!Does anyone know if an englisg
rsc file is available? If not Can anyone translate it to me if I post the terms?
I can create the rsc file myself..I'm sure other people need a modula2 compiler
oh well...by the way..next semester I'm taking a course called programming
languages..Included in the course are ADA and C..are their any ADA packages
for the ST or should I use pcditto<egad!!!>??what is the best C for a student
I'm on a limited budget and I dont need gem/vdi calls..

I believe you mean support for using Desqview as a multiprocessing OS.
And you are right, it is not easy to use Desqview
as a multiprosessing OS (even though possible and documented).
 
However, I was refering to Desqview as a way to execute many DOS programs
at the same time. For that, you need 0 support.
