 Therefore, if you type a printing character and then type @key{DEL},

+  Unfortunately, computer and keyboard manufacturers differ over the
+name of the @key{DEL} key.  This is the key at the far right of the row
+of keys containing the digits, usually immediately above the @kbd{RET}
+key.  It is usually labelled ``Backspace'' or ``Delete'' or some
+abbreviation.  Modern keyboards will often have another key labelled
+``Del'' in the @emph{edit keypad} (along with an ``Ins'' key and perhaps
+some others).  This is not the @kbd{DEL} key referred to here.  It

 Both @kbd{C-u} and @kbd{M-} allow you to give numeric arguments. If you
 want to move ten lines backward, you can also give negative arguments, like:
 @example
-C-u -10 C-n RET
+C-u -10 C-n
