Hi,
I finally installed emacs/orgmode (using gnu emacs) on my OS X
partition (have had it on the Arch linux side) and have a probably
silly question. All has gone quite smoothly except for the fact that
for the life of me I can't figure out what key combo provides
"delete." Fn+delete behaves like backspace. In my searching, I found
reference to C-?, but that comes up as unrecognized.
How do I delete?
Thanks!
John

Try C-d. If that doesn't work, look at the help for delete-char (C-h f
delete-char <RET>), which should tell which key it's bound to.
Best,
Richard

Doing F1-k on backspace ("delete" key) gives:
DEL (translated from <backspace>) runs the command
delete-backward-char
And with delete (Fn-"delete") it says:
DEL (translated from <kp-delete>) runs the command
delete-backward-char
So both are mapped to DEL.
You can fix this with
(global-set-key [kp-delete] 'delete-char)
Tested on
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.32)
of 2010-06-21 on black.porkrind.org
Personally, I'm used to C-d, M-d, etc. for forward deleting.
Saludos,

Juan/Richard: thanks for the suggestions. I'll try these when I'm home
on the Mac. Perhaps I should have just been using C-d all along!
