Well then, it's another nail in -K's coffin.

No problem.  I'm looking into how to eventually implement -d, and the
Backspace = KEY_DC change appears to be only part of the solution; I
still need to know what values are generated in all cases.  Would you
mind doing the following (which I forgot about before):

1. Compile nano with --enable-debug.

2. Run nano without -K at the console.

3. In the edit window, press Backspace and Delete, and let me know what
gets printed out for each key.  It should be something like "AHA! 
'[some character]' ([some number])".  I just need to know what [some
number] is for each key.

4. Run nano without -K in an xterm, and repeat #3.

Thanks in advance.
