The reason that it seems different when you delete with the backspace or the
delete key is that each method speaks the actual letter that is being
erased. In the case of the backspace, that letter is the one to the left of
the cursor. In the case of the delete key it is the letter to the right of
the cursor. Hope that helps.

Jim, I was just about to disagree with you but I changed my mine. The
scenario you propose is exactly what happens in Windows. When you
delete a character, it is the next key that gets spoken. However, when
you press the back space, which also deletes, windows says the actual
key you are deleting. So, I guess the bottom line is that even
Microsoft is not totally consistent. Or, they came up with some reason
why it should be different in both places.

When the delete key is pressed, Book Port says the character just
deleted. If the character the cursor lands on, the character to the
right of the deleted character, editing would be significantly easier.
