I hope I am not stating the obvious. Did you press the Fn key? Notebook
computers have an Fn key to access the smaller label. For example,
Apples have set at the Fn keys to be volume, screen brightness, etc. You
need to press Fn + F10 to get F10, since F10 is written in the smaller
font. Most sensible manufactures haven't done that. However, the some
keys are doubled up and usually if you need to press Fn, it will be in
the same font/color as the Fn key.

I suspect you wanted to press Fn + Del + whatever other keys you need.
(Sorry wasn't following the conversation in detail).

Hope that helps,

Simon
