One change I wanted was to have the '<X|' key (Backspace?) as

emacs reads both of these keys as DEL (detectable with M-x
describe-key).


Are you running under a window system?  Under a window system, C-h c
and C-h l probably say different things about the keys.

You need to hit C-h c first, then the key, but for C-h l you have to
hit the key first, then C-h l.

Maybe (global-set-key (kbd "<delete>") 'delete-char) works.

This works perfectly!  Thank you very much!
