Thanks.  I should have done a bit more work myself, but if you still have patience \
with me, I want to report that I did as you described, but now both the delele (ascii \
DEL) and the backspace (control-H) keys are doing what the backspace key is doing \
(i.e., deleting character to the left of the cursor).  I want to delete key to delete \
character to the right of the cursor.  Thanks again for your kind help.
