In installing RedHat 8.0, I can bind the DEL key to Remove (delete
current character and move right) rather than BACKSPACE (delete with a
left move of cursor) in emacs and elsewhere, but I've a real problem
with gnome-terminal.

Showkey indicates that my DEL key code is 111, and keycode tells me it
is bound to "Remove" by default. That's what I want. But
gnome-terminal apparently overrides the default. When I enter its Edit
Profile, Compatibility page, by default it has bound the DEL key to
ASCII-DEL (same as BACKSPACE). It offers two other options, either to
bind it to Escape Sequence or to Control-H.

Would a statement in ~/.Xdefaults serve to override this set of
options? If so, would the statement be something like:

gnome-terminal.keycode 111: Delete

I'm only guessing here. Probably mixing apples and oranges.
