If my understanding of these things is correct, it sends keycode 14 when I 
hit backspace.  This is then interpreted as a delete, rather than a 
backspace, by some interpreting software in the operating system.  The fact 
that showkey indicates a difference between the keys is to me a convincing 
argument that it's software, and thus changeable.

John's email looks promising, in that he mentions a few things I haven't 
stumbled across on my own yet.  Perhaps it's in there somewhere -- I'll let 
y'all know when I find it.
