delete key mapping

Ok, I don't know if I am going nuts, but when I am trying to delete something with my mac book pros delete key, the selected item does not delete. I have tried icons on the desktop as well as other random things. Is there another key mapped for deleting stuff? Stupid question, but I have to show how a unrelated 3d party software deletes selected items with the delete key....as I teach this 3d party software.

I am running Version 1.0 (50460) with windows server 2000. and I am running mac OSX 10.4.10

The Help and Getting Started Guide both talk about keyboard issues like this one.

To get the delete key working on a MacBook or MacBook Pro, you have to do Fn - Delete because the Mac delete key is different that the PC one of the same name.

Hope that helps.

So, how about the latest compact keyboard?

Fn-Delete, Ctrl-Delete, CtrlOptionDelete all don't work...
