    With which version of Emacs was it that "esc-del used to delete marks"?

In Today's GNU Emacs CVS, Wed, 2008 Oct 15  10:03 UTC
GNU Emacs 23.0.60.103 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.)

    C-M-d (translated from <escape> <delete>) runs the command
    dired-tree-down, which is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in
    `dired-aux.el'.

Perhaps the original poster meant <escape> <backspace>, which is also in
today's instance.  See

        (info "(emacs) DEL Does Not Delete") 

This is the result of `describe-key' (`C-h k'):

    M-DEL (translated from <escape> <backspace>) runs the command
    dired-unmark-all-files, which is an interactive compiled Lisp
    function in `dired.el'.
