Here's my first post:

OK, as the first order of the day, how do I get my "delete" key
to really be a delete key?  It worked fine under Xdarwin and
the version built by fink.

I think the solution is some sort of xmodmap, but I just can't seem
to wade through the docs well enough.

Nope.  works in a local emacs, but when I ssh, I get ^H for
both keys over the wire now.

So, that's not it.  Not for the FAQ yet.

Ahh... I think I've got it.

xmodmap -e "keysym 59 = Delete"

In /usr/bin/emacs-- under xterm
"You have typed C-h, the help character. Type a Help option:
(Use SPC or DEL to scroll through this text. Type q to exit the Help command.)"

Under terminal, it works as expected.

Yes, that seems to be it.  Now where do I put that without creating an
.xinitrc, since I want the default .xinitrc.  (And just where is the
default .xinitrc anyway?)
It's in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
