Hi!

I'd like to suggest the following change to the sqXWindow.c file of
the current (2.8a) VM.  I always wondered why the "DEL" key didn't
work and eventually found the solution in the VM support code. Somebody
explicitly removed it.  That's bad.  Or as my collegue said, if that
key were suppost to work like backspace, they didn't had printed "DEL"
on it.

Actually I changed the code so that Crtl+Space and Alt+Space work
as on other platforms.

      return;	/* unknown key */
