GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-windows98.2222) of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO

C-h k M-<backspace> reports
"M-DEL runs the command undo
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
(undo &optional ARG)"

this is synonymous with C-_
and
M-<delete> is the same as M-d

(All on standard 108 key keyboard)


Maybe it has something to do with 'delete-is-backspace' (I misremember the
real name of this setting) or something in my .emacs but I am sure I have
never messed with this key combo. Neither do I use msw keyboard emulation,
only transient-mark-mode t.
The only suspicious thing I can find in my .emacs that is even vaguely
related is:

(global-set-key [(super k)] (lambda () (interactive) (kill-line 0 )))

C-h b reports s-k ?? but this is probably because the backward kill line
is wrapped in a lambda.
