how to forward delete I can only backwards delete. Is there a way using the keyboard to delete in the forward direction. The delete key seems to only delete backwards

Thank you, I tried everything but that key. I new at this and learning I appreciate your quick response.

I installed KeyRemap4Macbook on my iMac when I installed Lion, so my backwards slash key could be a forward delete. Works great. Available from http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/
You're welcome
I used to be able to forward delete (fn + delete) but all of a sudden I heard a noise on my computer and it stopped working. I am working in photoshop.
Csound1---Thanks for the answer....Its very helpful to me..
Control-Delete works in MacOS 10.10.5 as backward delete. Fn-Delete does not work as backward delete.
This is amazing! Thank you so much! The ability to forward delete with a single button now is amazing!
