I know what I am about to say is heresey and I will get flamed..but
here goes....

I want to know how to swap the functions of the DEL key and ^H in
GNU EMACS.  Here is the problem, I spend quite a bit a time sitting
in front of an HP Portable keyboard and an HP 9000 keyboard.  Both
of those d*mb keyboards have DEL as a shifted character above ESC.
As you can imagine it is real annoying to have to press <SHIFT-ESC>
everytime I want to do a destructive backspace.  And since the
HP Portable keyboard has this really awful "feel" I often don't press
the SHIFT key hard enough and have to C-g the ESC.

Any hints would be appreciated...thanks...todd
