Lines: 15 How could you switch the functions of control-h and the DELETE key? I seem to have gotten C-h to perform backward-delete-char with the following line added to my .emacs file: (define-key global-map "\C-h" 'backward-delete-char) However, I can't get the DELETE key to act as the help prefix character. I don't even know how to reference the DELETE key (like "\C-h" references control-h). Ideas? I am using GNU Emacs 18.52.2 on a Sun 3/something -- -Steve Anderson INTERNET: sanderso@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu UUCP: uunet!umn-cs!sanderso "Beware of signs that say 'hidden driveway'"--the B-52's
