And C-d acts as DEL.
That doesn't sound very likely, though I haven't played around with the termcap entries.
C-d is normally bound to delete-char, which performs forward deletion. Some people expect the DEL key to behave the same way...
I get the impression that the original sender (whose attributions you have removed) knows Emacs fairly well.
Sorry, I normally try to leave two levels of attribution.

Interestingly, I've just discovered that the DELETE key on my cursor keypad is bound to c-d. So maybe that's what he was expecting.
I think so, yes.
If you map the Backspace key to DEL and the Delete key to C-d on a standard PC 101/104/whatever-key keyboard, you'll end up with something that does not break Emacs' usage of C-h for help and retains compatibility with the behavior that many people expect the Backspace and Delete keys to have.
