My backspace and enter key no longer works...

[Debi]

When I highlight text and hit the backspace or enter key
the highlighted text no longer erases. When I hit the
backspace key the cursor goes to the front of the
highlighted text. When I hit the return key it moves to
the back of the text.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong and how to
fix it? I'm not a computer person so please make the
instructions explicit.

Thanks so much in advance.

Perhaps its time to buy a new keyboard. I suggest the Microsoft Office
Keyboard. It has great key action, many extra function keys, and only costs
about $39. It will give you years of useful service.

like that, perhaps you should move to Nazi Germany,

I'm not sure how it could be a problem with the
keyboard. Something still occurs when I hit the button.
It's just not the right thing.

Any other ideas?
