I just got a new linux server = running…. It has emacs and I use it under ssh..

I don’t know the emacs = version, but this is probably an easy generic = question….

The backspace key is bound to some = awful help command, and it won’t backup and delete characters like = it is supposed to!! It is really bad because when I hit backspace the = screen splits and this page comes up, and it totally ruins whatever I = was typing…

I do not have a special .emacs or = anything, I am only running the emacs defaults.

ALSO, I want the DELETE key to be = bound to forward delete char…

ALSO, I would like to configure my = root account to use all the settings from a user account – is = there any way to do this? I guess that is more of a unix/linux = question…

Thanks for any help!
