Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
I'm trying to use backspace and delete. 

What's wrong:
The buttons seemed to have reversed: bksp deletes whatever's behind the cursor
and delete removes whatever's in front of the cursor.

What should have happened:
Backspace and delete should be reversed.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Up until two to three weeks ago, the buttons had been correct in all Athena
labs. Then the functions of the buttons switched in 2-032 and few other labs for
sure. The lab in Bldg. 37 seems unaffected.
