I would like to interchange the meanings of the delete key and the backspace key. I have tried the obvious: (global-set-key "\C-h" 'delete-backward-char) (global-set-key "\C-?" 'help-command) in my .emacs file with no success. A friend suggested trying to put a (setq help-key ?C-?) in front of those two lines, but that didn't help either. Please direct any replies to me via email as I don't read this group. Thanks... -- ============================================================================== Hal Pomeranz | pomeranz@dccs.upenn.edu | "Living in fear will overcome Network Engineer | pomeranz@cs.swarthmore.edu | us someday, and eventually University of PA | c/o esasse@sjuphil.uucp | destroy us all." --Law&Order
