I use a PowerBook, and when I was doing my first bit of hold-building
about two days ago, I actually found myself in a brief moment of confusion when I was trying to figure out how to delete a room from a hold when my 'delete' key wasn't doing the trick.
The thing is, on a Mac keyboard, there's two keys, one labelled 'delete' that is the equivalent of a PC keyboard's 'backspace', and one labelled either 'del' or also-'delete' on newer models than the one I've got from my last system that also has a little symbol of what looks kinda like a shaved right-pointing arrow with an X inside it, and functions as a PC keyboard's 'delete' does. Both of these are in the same positions on the Mac keyboard as their equivalents on the PC keyboard.
In DROD, you have to use the 'delete' key to undo moves, as on a PC backspace, and either the 'del' or on a laptop (or at least the one I use), the combination of the 'fn' (Function) and 'delete' keys to delete rooms.
Also, on an interesting note that I picked up from playing DROD for a year or two in Virtual PC due to 1.x versions not being platform-independent... There is no way on a standard Mac keyboard to emulate the Windows keys or the funky one with the menu icon on it. Virtual PC maps Ctrl to Ctrl, Option to Alt, and brings up your Mac menus on the Command/Apple key. So don't ever use those keys for something platform-independent
