Dear All
I'm running GNU emacs 20.7 on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
I'm just in the process of writin ga little ~/.emacs file. I haven't
been able to find the system default init file (not in /usr/share/emacs
or /etc/default), but I wanted to have some different settings.
One change I wanted was to have the '<X|' key (Backspace?) as
delete-backward-char and 'Delete' (DEL) as delete-char. However, my
emacs reads both of these keys as DEL (detectable with M-x describe-key).
Virtual consoles and other apps treat the keys differently, so I know
the issue is with emacs (and not eg the keyboard).
Does anyone have any clues as to what's happening, and what I can do to
change it?
Thanks
Ivan
