 In XEmacs 20.3 and beyond, the @key{Backspace} key is bound to
 @code{c-electric-backspace} and the @key{Delete} key is bound to
 @code{c-electric-delete}.  You control the direction it deletes in by
 setting the variable @code{delete-key-deletes-forward}, a standard
-XEmacs variable.  When this variable is address@hidden,
address@hidden will do forward deletion with
address@hidden, otherwise it does backward deletion
