Wouldn't xmodmap work? We have several X terminals for which the DEL key
functions differently, so I grabbed xmodmap from export.lcs.mit.edu (some-
where down the pub/R5untarred directory, I suppose) built it and made a
little command procedure with the following lines:

	$ What = F$ENVIRONMENT("PROCEDURE")
	$ Here = F$PARSE("A.A;1", What) - "A.A;1"
	$ xmodmap :== $ 'Here'XMODMAP.EXE
	$!
	$ xmodmap -e "keycode 110 = Delete"
	$! ...

We run it on our VMS machines after logging in from these X terminals.
