%on atari st 3.10, this is not recognized. I put it in my emacs.rc,
%do describe-bindings, see it listed there, and del still does a delete-left.
%I do a bind-to-key delete-next-character and then hit the <DEL> key,
%and for the duration of my session, it works fine.
%I do a describe bindings, and I see

%bind-to-key delete-next-character ^?
%bind-to-key delete-next-character ^?

%so obviously, the ^? I created in the session and the one in the
%emacs.rc file are not the same.

Just use the quote character. (In gulam/ue, this is ctrl-Q. It's probably
the same in most other emacs' as well.) Edit your emacs.rc file and type
	(Ctrl-Q)(Delete) and you'll see '^?' echoed.
