Yes, backspace works in other programs that use Tkinter.

Why it stopped working in Lyntin, I haven't been able to figure out.
As a work-around, I added the following to the CommandEntry class in
Tkui:

self.bind("<KeyPress-BackSpace>", self.callBackSpace)
...
def callBackSpace(self, tkevent):
  """ Handles the <KeyPress-BackSpace> event."""
  bkspcIndex = self.index('insert')
  self.delete(bkspcIndex - 1, bkspcIndex)

Simple and works for now, but I'm still bummed as to why this is now necessary.
