Photoshop CS3 delete button

I've just switched from PC to Mac and I'm having some problems with photoshop. One thing is that when I make a selection and then press the delete button. On my PC the button was a shortcut for the "clear" command but on my Mac nothing happens. I can customize the keyboard shortcuts in photoshop but it's impossible to set the delete button as a shortcut for clear.

The button simply won't work in photoshop. It works great in all other applications.

Any solution?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

The button for this on the Mac version is the Backspace key. Not all mac keyboards have the del. button* so i guess this is why they make the backspace key the default. Maybe its just something you will need to get used to. You have to use the apple/command key for certain shortcuts now anyway so its only one more adjustment to make.

*I am referring to laptop and the smaller, older iMac keyboards. Just thought i should add that as this is an internet forum after all! :o)
