Hmmm....

When I use an xmodmap, I get the keys to work fine in emacs, but all my
bash windows see Delete and Backspace both as delete-backward-char.
I've tried using a .intputrc file with:

Delete: delete-char

but that doesn't do anything.

How do I get line editing to do what I expect in bash and have emacs
work, too?

Thanks for any help!
