It is bound to DEL. (delete-backward-char N &optional KILLFLAG) Delete the previous N characters (following if N is negative). Optional second arg KILLFLAG non-nil means kill instead (save in kill ring). Interactively, N is the prefix arg, and KILLFLAG is set if N was explicitly specified. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
