-
- You must insert the following line in the Emacs startup-file:
-
- (global-set-key "\C-h" 'backward-delete-char-untabify)
-
- I did this a few days ago, too :-)
-
- On UniX-systems the startup-file is called .emacs, I don't now the
- name on the TT (perhaps emacs.rc?). This only works for the Emacs, not
- the MicroEmacs.
