Delete to the left.

Snow Leopard.
If one wants to delete a letter to the left you press delete, thats fine but what if I want to delete a letter to the right, what then.
I was told the use the "del" key which I don't have I just have the "delete" key which evidently are two different things.
I realise it can be done by high lighting the letter but I was interested to know if there was a key to do the job.

Try pressing fn-delete simultaneously. The 'fn' or function button is in the bottom-left of your keyboard.
