   Hi all,

   I am using emacs 18.58 on a SUN 4 (Sparc 1) with a type 4 keyboard.

   I would like to remap the DEL key on the keypad from delete-backward-char
   to delete-char.  I have tried in my .emacs
   (global-set-key "DEL" 'delete-char)
   (global-set-key "\DEL" 'delete-char)
   etc. to no avail.

To insert the delete key between the quotes, move there and type
   C-Q <DEL>
(were by <DEL> I mean pressing the DEL key).


   I did notice that I could do a 
   M-x local-set-key DEL delete-char
   while running emacs and this worked OK.

After you successfully do a command with M-X, if you want to copy that
command into your .emacs file, do
  C-X <ESC>
(which is repeat-complex-command).  This throws you into the
minibuffer with a lisp version of your last command.  Copy the line
into the kill buffer (e.g. with
  C-A C-K
) and exit the minibuffer with C-G.  Now you can paste the command
into your .emacs file.
