Sorry, I'm not making myself very clear. I realize that emacs has to depend on the termcap or terminfo entry, and that it doesn't know anything about the physical keyboard layout. My question boils down to this: Why not map the kdch1/kD sequence to <delete> instead of <deletechar>? Wouldn't that make bindings like (global-set-key [delete] 'what-ever) work the same both under X and within xterm or other terminal emulators? Please forgive me if I'm missing something blindingly obvious here. Dale.
