[X4U] Forward delete on powerbook

[Mark Des Cotes]

This is very interesting. Is there a way to do it on the smaller 
keyboard from an old iMac? At home I have a slot loading iMac DV and it 
just drives me nuts not having the forward delete key that is available 
on the extended keyboard. But I don't have an "Fn" key on it either. 
(is that a powerbook only key?) Do I have any options?
