If you put that in your ~/.Xdefaults-${HOSTNAME}, (substituting
${HOSTNAME} for the hostname you've decided on), it will apply to
every app. Alternatively, you can exercise fine control by having both 

	Mosaic*XmText.translations: #override\n\
		 <Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-character()
	Mosaic*XmTextField.translations: #override\n\
		<Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-character()

and

	Mozilla*XmText... (etc.)

The problem with putting resources in app-defaults/app directly, as
you have done, is that they get blown away when you upgrade the
package.

No doubt it's an idiosyncrasy of lesstif. Many terminal emulations
have the same ideas, including xterm without the "back arrow" setting
checked. In most cases hitting the "del" key, which is the lower left
in the cluster of six on the US 101 key PC keyboard, will do what you
want without tweaking.
