Hi guys, I am new to Freebsd (after years of linux) and, althought system
installation and configuration was quite seamlessly, I've an issue with the
delete key of my keyboard (101 keys us layout): In xterm, the backspace key
works ok, but when I press del, it prints the "~" character, instead of
deleting .  I have read it has something to do with keyboard layout config,
but I couldn't find out how to fix it. So, any ideas?

I use csh/tcsh and just put this in .cshrc:

bindkey "^?" delete-char
bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char
bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line
bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line

Seems to work for console and xterm.  There's a good web page on this:
