In ANSI X3.4 (the ASCII standard)!  Backspace IS control-H.  Now in
principle the code sent by the backspace key can be modified I think.

This implies that emacstool fixes the keypad mappings to be what emacs
expects.   Are you avoiding using it for a good reason?  If so, then
the code in it should maybe be moved into emacs if possible.

Looks like this can help from the manual page.  emacstool must do
something simliar, so look at its source maybe.

Disclaimer: I run X on my Sun, and hate function keys anyway!
