 |Yecch, don't do that.  If you are running in an X window, you want to 
 |look at the 'xmodmap' command, which will allow you to frob your 
 |keysyms to your heart's content.

But users shouldn't have to redefine the keycode-to-keysym mappings for
their entire X Display, affecting the KB config for all their other clients,
just for doscmd.

An option to use the backspace key and its default binding to the
<Backspace> keysym as the backspace key in doscmd would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Randall
