   Wait a minute.

   I remember that a couple of weeks ago I overcame the BACKSPACE<->DEL
   problem by using an mg3beta4 command which expressly swapped the two
   keys.  I can't remember if it was in the manual, or if I found it
   by patient use of the apropos.  I am not currently at my Amiga now, but
   when I get home (If I remember) I will look it up and repost.

The command in question is bsmap-mode. It is explicitly designed to
make live on backspace machines easier. One of these days, I'll get
around to hacking up the Amiga so I can use Delete instead of
Backspace, and my life will be much easier.
