I've found that I need to do a bit more then this because I use emacs. .Xmodmap keycode 22 = BackSpace keycode 107 = Delete .Xresources ! Make VT100 Backspace send ^?, and Meta<Key>Backspace send ^[^?. *VT100.Translations: #override ~Meta<Key>BackSpace: string(0x7F)\n\ Meta<Key>BackSpace: string(0x1B) string(0x7F)\n\ XTerm*eightBitInput: False XTerm*eightBitOutput: True .emacs ;;; Add a DELETE key if possible. (define-key function-key-map [delete] nil) (global-set-key [delete] 'delete-char) Jim
