As far as I know sh doesn't have that. Bash have extensive info
manual where is described 'bind' command. Though in my humble opinion
most people prefer adding something like this below to ~/.inputrc as
this works in other "readline" programms as well:
"\e[3~": delete-char
What is actual character for Delete key depends on TERM - you can make it
conditional as some terms have chosen to use ^? for backspace.
Don't ask me why readline is unable to use ncurses for that.
