Obviously I should not have thought of the > characters but the actions, that are each bound to some character ... Changing erase gives me back C-h -> help, but makes my "Delete" key write '^H' in the terminal and do nothing at all in emacs. However, when i use the C-DEL, it does delete backwards, and describe-key says that that combo is just DEL ('backward-delete...). Also, M-DEL still gives C-M-h. Could it be that I should switch to an encoding other than ascii? matt
