Here is how I do it:

(global-set-key "\C-H"  'delete-backward-char)

I guess if your keyboard doesn't generate ^h for backspace then this wouldn't
work, but I think ^h is pretty standard for that key.  It works for me.

Me neither.  Me too.  ;^)

Many terminals use these 2 characters to perform scroll lock/unlock.  All
the ones I have seen have a setup screen that allows you to change the
mapping of these keys so that the terminal does not scarf them up.  Look
around in your emulator for a setup capability.
