[Emacspeak] Re: Deleting text

Hello Jeff,

Try command delete-region.  I found this by doing

m-x apropos

entering 'delete' at the prompt, and searching through the output.

I can kill it to the kill ring, but sometimes I would like to just be able to delete it and not send it to the kill ring. The backspace nor delete button works. After marking a block of text hitting backspace just deletes the character. Is this normal default behavior?
