Hi Jordan,
there are two things that could cause the Delete key remove a char
to the left of the cursor in the console (that I'm aware of):
1) The key sends ^H, which is Backspace.
2) Your shell is configured to remove a char to the left of the
cursor when it receives both ^H and ^? (Delete).
You can find out the code by typing ^V (Ctrl and V at once) and
then pressing the Delete key. If it shows "^?" (w/o the quotes),
you have to look at your shell's manual. I'm 99% sure this is the
case, since Delete has been sending ^? since I remember, but both
tcsh-6.0.1[01] and zsh-4.0.[24] are misconfigured just the way
you describe.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the fix for tcsh, and haven't
fixed this in my zsh yet.
