I'm also a newbie to the iMac Snow Leopard machine... I have the 'aluminum' keyboard and it does not have a 'forward delete' button... It does have the 'backward delete' button... I've been able to solve the not having a 'forward delete' button by using 'fn' + '[backward] delete' in all other places but not within irb... In irb, when I press 'fn'+'delete' I get the 'squigly' character '~'... ..for example, if I'm in irb and want to delete the '2' in the string "123", using 'fn'+'delete', I get "1~23".... No big deal, but it is driving me nuts...I'd appreciate any help... Good day
