Indeed. I'm reading (and writing) this using gnus. On emacs. On a
machine about 8 miles away. Using ssh with cygwin (eugh). Because of
some weird problems with cygwin deleting frames if you accidentally
mouse-2 on them (!), I'm using the new multiheaded emacs and emacsclient
-nw.
Anyway, stuff Ctrl-Shift-blah. For me, Ctrl-h is indistinguishable from
DEL!
