How do I delete them (RVK) once they’re set?
You can select the key (right click on it) then do XKEY and agree to erase.
You can also delete the whole IPO block, but that may be a bit radical.

i tried that…
the problem i’m having
occurs when i try to delete a vert…
the mesh explodes.
it might just be a 2.25 problem.
i’ll check 2.23.
I don’t know if this ‘that’ is ‘that’ I said or ‘that’ theeth said but, in any event, I use version 2.22 in Windows.
sorry.
I don’t know if this ‘that’ is ‘that’ I said or ‘that’ theeth said but…
i am vague at times.
i tried everything the both of you suggested.
and more. hehehe. 
blender would still contort my mesh in 2.25
as well as 2.23.
luckily i had a saved version before i added the vertex keys that i am able to manipulate without any problems.
