Hey all,

One feature that I like on some X apps (xdm, mozilla...), is the way they
use the "Delete" key (above the directional pad) : it deletes the char that
is on the right of the cursor position.

But I can't reproduce it on my NetBSD 1.6.1 system, and using the "Delete"
key just produces a '~' char on a term.

I searched a way, that would work on both xterms and ascii terms, but was
unable to find, in that most of the time people use their "Delete" key as a
"Back Space" key ("left-deleting").

Help would be greatly appreciated, as usual :)

Thanks

Nicolas.
