10/9    What's the difference between backward-delete-char and
        delete-backward-char in emacs?
                        \-b-d-c is an alias for d-b-c. there are a few
                        "standard aliases" like beep for ding. Some of these
                        are for backward compat and will go away at some point
                        others are "blessed" aliases. --psb
                        \_ what is the diff between psb and pbs? Is the
                           former blessed in any way? -ali
                                \-percy bysse shelly writes better poetry
                                and psb writes better lisp. --psb

                           \_ Public Broadcasting System, or Portable Batch
                              System?
                                \_ Geek or culture.  Your choice.
                                   \_ Funny thing is, I'm not sure which is
                                      which.
                                    \_ We can safely assume that the Portable
                                       Batch System is _not_ a sign of high
                                       high culture.  You can figure out the
                                       rest.
