I tried this, and it worked great, EXCEPT: Netscape wouldn't recognize
the key. Since you also pointed me to xev, though, I was able to figure
out the keycodes and do a straight swap that way - thanks! (I'm using
a precompiled BSDI Netscape 4.0.5, FWIW.)

xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = Delete"
xmodmap -e "keycode 107 = BackSpace"

Again, thanks!
