problem with sending shift-<delete>

[Mickey Ferguson]

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand.  How would I send
<shift>-<shift>-del?  I'm just holding the shift key and hitting the Delete
key.  So when I do that, it doesn't send <shift>-Del?  How is that different
from my holding shift and then hitting the 'p' key, thus attempting to type
a capital P?  Doesn't it send a capital P?

VNC viewer interprets <shift>-<whatever_key> as the key code to transmit
<whatever_key> to the vnc server - ie, sending <shift>-Cntrl-alt-del to a
Winvnc server should trigger the cntrl-alt-del response on the remote side.
Some keys do work normally, however.

You can try sending <shift>-<shift>-del and see if that works.  Otherwise, I
have no suggestions...
