For all i know the function 'global-set-key' works. But i wanted to change
the BS-key, so that it is a BS, and the DEL-key to act like a DEL and not
like BS. (The funcions are delete-char and delete-backward-char i think).
But if i try to change them i must use ascii-code if i understand the
documentation. There stands: '\n' where n is a octal number changes the
the char with this number. But \7 alters the 7-key and \007 brings an
error.

Bye...
