Dear All

I'm running GNU emacs 20.7 on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0

I'm just in the process of writin ga little ~/.emacs file.  I haven't 
been able to find the system default init file (not in /usr/share/emacs 
or /etc/default), but I wanted to have some different settings.

One change I wanted was to have the '<X|' key (Backspace?) as 
delete-backward-char and 'Delete' (DEL) as delete-char.  However, my 
emacs reads both of these keys as DEL (detectable with M-x describe-key).

Virtual consoles and other apps treat the keys differently, so I know 
the issue is with emacs (and not eg the keyboard).

Does anyone have any clues as to what's happening, and what I can do to 
change it?

Thanks

Ivan
