It happens to work for me, as I have my Delete key put out a 127 (stty -a 
reports erase=^?). Control-Delete gives me forward delete, as does my Del 
key; Delete gives me backspace, and control-H does a forward delete.

Under X, you have Backspace, Delete, and Remove keys.
But there are also the ASCII key equivalents (127, 8, various escape 
sequences, etc.).

My feeling is that the X definition of the keys should be used, not the ASCII 
translations (at least for non-character keys).
