   Could some kind soul tell me how to remap the keyboard sequence generated
   by the "Back space" button of a HP 9000/345 keyboard.

   Right now, the "Back space" generates the chareacter "^H". So in emacs 
   18.55, instead of deleting the last char, it just calls the help-for-help
   Emacs-lisp function. and it drives me crazy :-( :-(

   I would like the "Back space" generates another character than "^H", let's
   say "^?".    
   I do not want to rebind by emacs lisp the "^H" key to backward-delete-
   char-untabify, neither backward-delete-char, just in order not to change
   the standard ^H binding of help-for-help. 

   
   Thanks in advance for your hints and suggestions.

		Jean-Luc
