What the problem turned out to be was that I was using "del" in the wrong
place!

I had tried

AddKeyCmd Delete, delete %s

and

AddKeyCmd Delete, del %s

but what was needed was

AddKeyCmd del,Delete %s

The Guide in fact says (if I could learn to read):

"Valid are printable keys as well as F1-F10, Help and *Del*." (emphasis
mine)
