Well, you are certainly right about the pessimal placement of the DEL
key on the HP 9000 keyboard (known as the ITF keyboard internally).
As far as I know, every GNU Emacs user in Hewlett-Packard uses the
keyboard-translate-table to swap C-H and DEL.

The bright spot is that the "Extend Char" keys work great as Meta
keys, if you can get to the keycodes.  When running GNU Emacs on X
windows, it can read the keycodes.
