Sorry to waste bandwidth with such a lame question, although my teachers always
used to say there was no such thing as a lame question, just lame answers.
(Well, it was something like that <|:-)  So here's your chance!  This question
comes from a user:

	Boy do I like this so much better!
	...
	Is there a way I can set my keyboard to make the
	delete key work like the delete key.  Right now it
	works like the backspace!
	
I'd like to do that too!  She is using PC-NFS 4.0a and telnetting into a Sun4.
Can someone tell me how to map the ^D function to the delete key?

One way might be:
"stty erase ^Vdelete"   i.e. type control-V and then the delete key.
If that works then put that in her ".login" (for csh) or in her
.profile (for sh or ksh)
     	
     I'd like to do that too!  She is using PC-NFS 4.0a and telnetting into a S
    un4.

Do you know that control-D already has a purpose in Unix ? If you don't
mind losing that usage that then try
"stty erase ^V^D"   i.e. type control-V and then control-D.
