Just a quick question. The GNU Emacs manual's section on customization is
way too indepth for this.

I would like to change the functions of the "backspace" and "delete" keys
in GNU Emacs 18.55. Basically, I would like the Delete key (on an IBM
standard 101-key keyboard) be the C-h prefix, and the Backspace key to
be the Delete key... Get what I'm saying?

Anyone have an easy addition to the .emacs file to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Doug
