IIRC KS_KP_Delete will produce this sequence.
So you have to change KS_Delete to KS_KP_Delete, either in the kernel or
with wsconsctl. The wsconsctl line should be something like that:
wsconsctl -w map+='keycode 211 = KP_Delete'
But I'm not sure and haven't tried.
If that doesn't produce the sequence you want, you'll probably have to
change it in one of the wsemul_* files in /sys/dev/wscons, depending on what
emulation you use.
Bye, Chris
