Sorry for wasting your time :-\ Command summary I was looking at says
C-d invokes delete-char, and DEL invokes delete-backward-char. So I
figured those two don't do the same thing. Anyway, I wasn't *that* lazy,
I really did consult google before asking... next time I'll try out the
obvious before concluding they don't do the same thing :-D
