Hi Keith, Maybe I didn't explain well. I am looking for a way to define the delete function on the "DELETE" key, so allowing me to press one key as opposed to two (control-h) to rub out a character on my x-window session screen. Well, I have actually found the tool xmodmap, and used "xmodmap -pk" to identify the current keymap, and tried xmodmap -e "keysym apLineDel = Delete" The key apLineDel (labelled as Remove on a LK401 keyboard) is redefined to be 0xffff (Delete), as revealed using xmodmap -pk on the second time. But this does not work. I am still getting ~ and a beep when pressing the key.
