This should be a FAQ or in a readme or something. Anyway, it's a common
question. Anyway....
Put the lines below into your ~/.emacs file and restart emacs:
;; Translate `C-h' to <DEL>.
(keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?)
;; Translate <DEL> to `C-h'.
(keyboard-translate ?\C-? ?\C-h)
Happy Chinese New Year,
Enjoy,
ken
