[PD] fn delete

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

AFAIK, all key mapping is done in pd.tk (aka u_main.tk).  But that  
doesn't mean that it's simple to track down.  That's part of what  
need fixing ;).

Look for all the "bind" statements in pd.tk.  Part of the problem is  
that Pd turns off a lot of the default Tcl/Tk bindings, which is  
probably the cause behind the problem that started this thread.
