Hi,

I use R with XEmacs and ESS, when I'm editing a R file in XEmacs, the delete 
key work like the Backspace key.

This behaviour is only in XEmacs + ESS + R file, it dont have this behaviour 
on a R section (M+R).

Anybody know how to make a delete key to work like the delete key??

ESS 5.1.20-2

XEmacs 21.4.6-8

Thanks for all

Dear Ronaldo,

You can add the following lines to your .xemacs file:

         (define-key ess-mode-map [delete] 'delete-char)
         (define-key inferior-ess-mode-map [delete] 'delete-char)

I hope that this helps,
  John
