SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use the Microsoft IntelliPoint software for Macintosh to assign the DELETE key to a button on a pointing device, you may not be able to assign the button correctly. In addition, you may also experience one of the following symptoms:
 * The button to which you assigned the DELETE key may be assigned the &quot;forward delete&quot; function.
 * The DELETE key may not register in the IntelliPoint software as a keystroke that can be assigned to a button.

When you press the DELETE key to assign it to a button in the IntelliPoint Assignments window, the Press a key box may remain empty, indicating that the DELETE key may not be assigned.

NOTE: Not all third-party keyboards have been fully tested with the IntelliPoint software, so results may vary.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft IntelliPoint software for Macintosh.
