I suspect a "pilot error on your part". DEL is rebound to backward-delete-char-untabify in elisp mode, so when you hit backspace, it probably doesn't run the new code at all. You can also call it a misfeature of elisp-mode (and C mode as well, IIRC). Maybe a bug-report/feature-request about it is in order. Stefan
