I would just add some translations to your X resources or to
Netscape's app-defaults file ... and take the opportunity to make it
more Emacs-like:
*XmTextField.translations: #override\n\
<Key>osfBackSpace: delete-previous-character()\n\
<Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-character()\n\
<Key>BackSpace: delete-previous-character()\n\
<Key>Delete: delete-previous-character()\n\
Ctrl<Key>h: delete-previous-character()\n\
Ctrl<Key>d: delete-next-character()\n\
Meta<Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-word()\n\
Meta<Key>osfBackSpace: delete-previous-word()\n\
Meta<Key>Delete: delete-previous-word()\n\
Meta<Key>BackSpace: delete-previous-word()\n\
Meta<Key>d: delete-next-word()\n\
Ctrl<Key>k: delete-to-end-of-line()\n\
