On most Unix systems that I have been on, one can use stty to redefine the
the character which generates a delete signal (known as DEL).  On some
keyboards, there is a key labeled, DEL.  Others, the key is labeled Delete.
On yet others, there is no such key, and folks assign either ^?, ^C, etc.

What I have yet to see is a termcap or terminfo entry to allow the user
to specify to a program what key should be treated as that character.
While the program COULD get it from the stty, I would think that having
an attribute set like that would permit someone to indicate what type
of terminal they had and let tset(1) or a similar program set the
stty attribute for them.

Does anyone know of a common method for doing this type of thing?

Thanks!
