Internal to emacs, you can use 'M-x global-set-key' (meta-x; type the rest). 
If that works, you may be able to fix it by adding a similar line to your 
~/.emacs file:
(global-set-key "\d" 'backward-delete-char)   <- exactly like that. (though 
you may have to replace the \d with the appropriate keycode.)

emacs has extensive builtin help, and offers a variety of suggestions on 
fixing this...

Peace,
Clayton
