(I don't have this problem in terminal mode). you can change your key bindings: with C-h c DEL-key lookup what's the name of the DEL-key for the system porabbaly "C-d" and what command it invokes (probably delete-backward-char) then put something like (global-set-key "\C-d" 'delete-char) in your .emacs file. > 2.

Like the MARK SET is disabling soon after. try to experiment with M-x toggle-transient-mark-mode. that might help. cheers, leo
