You can read Richard Stallman's stuff on why backspace is wrong and delete
is backspace. Or you you can use some (or all) of this in your ~/.emacs file
(display-time)
(server-start)
(global-set-key "\C-h" 'delete-backward-char)
(global-set-key "\C-]" 'help-for-help)
(global-set-key "\C-X@" 'set-mark-command)
(put 'narrow-to-page 'disabled nil)
And isn't Alt your Meta key?
