Keywords: control-h keymap help-command

I'm running GNU emacs 17.57.30 in an environment in which control-h
usually (and unalterably) means "backwards-delete-character". I'd like
to establish another keystroke sequence as the "help-prefix" , and
make control-h mean backwards-delete-character so I can let my tactile
memory autopilot take over the correction of simple typos again. I've 
looked at the documentation and it seems to require changing global-map
which frankly scares me. What am I missing?

Any help gratefully received...
