I have no idea why this works, but it does for some reason.  I stumbled 
upon it by accident.

A very quick fix for the Netscape/Emacs backspace/delete problem: 

Use us.iso.kbd.  Modify shift-backspace to be 'bs' instead of 'del'.

so the line reads:

  014   del    bs     bs     bs     del    del    bs     bs      O
               ^^
               this changes from del

For some odd reason this makes everything work.  No I'm not using 
shift-backspace in netscape.  Just plain backspace works like it's 
supposed to.  Go figure.

Cheers,

Terry
