Silly question - deleting objects

[Doc_Scorpion]

OK, I don't seem to be able to delete objects.  I'm in the base editor, with the toon with base editing privileges (the only toon in the SG for that matter)...  and none of the obvious keys have any effect.

I just select the object with my mouse and click the Delete key.

While editing, select the object you want to delete and press the Delete key.  You can also go to the  "Current Room"  button and then scroll to find the item you want to get rid of and click the "Sell" button beneath it.

OK, the numpad "DEL" key, which I've been using, does nothing...  But the "Delete" key (which never occurred to me to try as I almost never us that section of the keyboard) works...

Thanks!

I believe if you have Num Lock turned on, the Del key on the numpad is a period (.)

I didn't have Num Lock turned on though...  That was the first thing I checked.  🙂  The only one who uses Num Lock on this computer is my wife, an accountant, as she all but physically cannot enter numbers except on a 10-key.
