On Windows, (Windows 2000), Window explorer(the file directory
navigator) maps the 'backspace' key to go up one directory which given
the way most people navigate directories is pretty much the same as
going 'Back'. On my six-month old computer, the only label on the
Backspace key is a left arrow so disregarding the legacy factor of the
key at that spot having always been the backspace key and that most
programs still use it as such there is no logical reason why for
....never mind that is a pretty weak argument...:) But anyway it seems
to me that they were just emulating operating system behavior, so the
only real argument against it is that is inconsiderate to other
operating systems, not a blanket declaration that there is no possible
good reason for it. Maybe it should go in en-win.jar, but then again I
don't know how many windows users are really going to be expecting the
behavior even though it mimics the operating system...
