Hello!

The last problem I had, had been solved very fast by some kind netters. So, 
here's a new one.

I use Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5.
If I use a TEditWindows-Object (a child of the Edit-Class) the DEL-Key does 
not work. The only possiblility to delete a character is to use Backspace.
I think, that this is because of the implementation of the Windows Edit-
Class. My question is: How can I activate the DEL-key. 

I see two problems:
- How can I capture the Del-Key. Does it come with a wm_char message? I 
  can't find one.
- The Edit-class has no message to delete the character right to the cursor. 
  Also it has no message to get the cursor position in the current line.

Thanks
Stefan
