And, > also important, will changing it break 10 other things..... To solve this particular problem, you might want to consider using XEmacs. Sure, I could tell you about keymaps under Emacs and XEmacs, but usually after I delve into this subject I feel like stabbing myself in the eye with a pencil. But if you're using XEmacs, use the menus like this: Options->Customize->Emacs->Editing->Basics->Delete Key Deletes Forward and this will do what you want. For a beginning emacs user who wants to customize things, I highly recommend using XEmacs. The menu structure of XEmacs might make it possible for you to customize XEmacs to your needs without learning Lisp. --kevin Kevin D.
