I have the following in my .emacs, if it'll help:
; Cocoa emacs, for some bizarre reason DELETE key is bound to
backward-delete-char-untabify
;;and make home and end behave in a non-mac way!
(if (string-match "darwin" (version))
( progn
(global-set-key (kbd "<kp-delete>") 'delete-char)
(global-set-key (kbd "<backspace>") 'backward-delete-char)
(global-set-key (kbd "<home>") 'move-beginning-of-line)
(global-set-key (kbd "<end>") 'move-end-of-line)
) )

To give you an idea of how others use it (and you may like pc-type
home, end, delete, backspace keys like I do).
