I get "08" (BS) instead of "7f". And "tput kdel" gives "1b 4f 42". As long as the two give different codes, his shell can translate them as he likes, and he needn't "fix" lower-level key config. Of course, it doesn't change things for other apps. I found "kbs" in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xterm.terminfo, but it doesn't have "kdel", so I doubt if that's the source of even "kbs". Oh well. I've learned to live in ignorance when it comes to keys and fonts (among other things).
