What happen to the Backspace key in the Athena text widget. I get this when using the any Xt (Locus and Motif) running SCO Xenix. X Toolkit Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym: Backspace X Toolkit Warning: ... found while parsing '~Shift Meta<Key>Backspace: delete-p revious-word() ' I never saw this when running on a Sun. Anyways, I looked at some standard X distrib. stuff in TMParse.c, and sure enough, Backspace isn't there, but Delete is. Meanwhile, Backspace is in the Text widget translation table in both doc and code. Somebody must of seen this before, but patches 1-10 don't cover it. Am I missing something?
