Could be it's: (normal-erase-is-backspace-mode). From its documentation: With numeric arg, turn the mode on if and only if ARG is positive. On window systems, when this mode is on, Delete is mapped to C-d and Backspace is mapped to DEL; when this mode is off, both Delete and Backspace are mapped to DEL. (The remapping goes via `function-key-map', so binding Delete or Backspace in the global or local keymap will override that.) In addition, on window systems, the bindings of C-Delete, M-Delete, C-M-Delete, C-Backspace, M-Backspace, and C-M-Backspace are changed in the global keymap in accordance with the functionality of Delete and Backspace. For example, if Delete is remapped to C-d, which deletes forward, C-Delete is bound to `kill-word', but if Delete is remapped to DEL, which deletes backward, C-Delete is bound to `backward-kill-word'. F1 should work as Help key anyway. -- Greetings Pete === -Q ==<__/% >> _____________(_)____@_____________________________
