When the numlock is on the "delete" key is the "." (period).

ah, when I was hunting around, I neglected to check that bottom row.  So

what we call the insert key is zero, if the num lock is on, maybe?  And 
delete is to the right of it, just before the enter key.  I just forgot
it 
was there, because I never used it to begin with, but always just
reached up 
and pressed the delete key in the six pack.  So I guess twenty years of 
habit plus five or six years of not being able to see the num pad
clearly 
simply pushed it out of my mind completely.  Sorry about that.

Daniel,

    I'm still using the same keyboard I did with my Win 98 se machine.
At least with mine, moving from left to right on the bottom row of the
num pad, I have Insert/0, delete,, and Enter.  The Delete key is
directly below the pg down key and the Insert and Enter keys are bigger.
If I do an Insert-1 (the top row of the qwerty section, not F-1, to have
JAWS tell the functions of keys, JAWS says "delete."  The Insert-1 is a
toggle and you can hit it again after you've finished experimenting with
keystrokes, or jogging your memory, to turn it off and get back to what
you are doing.  I tend to forget about it, but it's handy for people new
to JAWS or as a refresher for old hands. Margaret

identification thing, Insert num row 1, and pressed every key in the num
pad.  I didn't hear any one of them identified as a delete key.  I don't
remember a delete key on the num pad from my days of using the keyboard
visually, either.  I'm confused.

    I usually use the delete key in the num pad, but XP bongs at me when
I use in the  one in the six pack as well.

    MS Office 2000 is on the machine, not the XP or 2003 versions.

    Also, at the moment, the only version of JAWS that is on the machine
is 6.0.

Which delete key are you using, the one in the six pack or the one on
the number pad?
