is there a delete key on the iMac keyboard?

You could probably use the one with the label "delete" in the upper right of the main keyboard.

That is called "Forward-Delete". On compact keyboards, hold down the fn key and press the key labeled "delete"

some mac keyboards there is one delete key which deletes in the right to left direction. This is the way delete keys have worked from the beginning of computing when there were no mice or pointers and the cursor was always at the end of the field. Windows users would call this a backspace.

Some mac keyboards have two delete keys. The one mentioned above and one in a cluster of fn, home, end, pgup & pgdn. It is labelled "delete x>" and it deletes in a left to right direction. Windows users would call this the delete key.

If you only have one delete key you can also use it to delete in the left to right direction by holding the fn key at the same time.
