I try to customize GNU Emacs 18.55 for use with a AT386-console.
To give compatibility with some (DOS-) editors I intend to replace
the keybinding for DEL with `delete-char (instead if `backward-delete-
char-untabify which I binded to C-h).

I use the following directives:

  (global-unset-key "")
  (global-set-key "" 'backward-delete-char-untabify)
  (global-unset-key "\177")
  (global-set-key "\177" 'delete-char)

This works for C-h but not for DEL.  Why?

Thanks,
Peter
