How do I enable the delete key in Finder ?

As subject says,-- the Delete key was working in the builds before the final so it must have been some changes made.

It´s strange that through Keyboard Shortcuts I can map for example F13 to delete files&folders, but the Delete key seems to be a dead key.

I have just installed an earlier Leopard build and can confirm that the Delete key deletes files on Desktop and in Finder in this build.I don´t know why this is "disabled" in final version of Leopard.


I would assume this is a programming error which has been subsequently corrected, since the 'delete without command' facility has never been available in any final Mac OS - nor should it be, as it's a bit risky.
