%bind-to-key delete-next-character ^?

%so obviously, the ^? I created in the session and the one in the
%emacs.rc file are not the same.
Just use the quote character. (In gulam/ue, this is ctrl-Q. It's probably
the same in most other emacs' as well.) Edit your emacs.rc file and type
(Ctrl-Q)(Delete) and you'll see '^?' echoed.

It is clearly written in 3.10 doc, page 15-29: "... control D character in the startup file is represented visibly as an uparrow key followed by a capital D." (to explain a bind-to-key using ^D). This works for me, under various machines. ^Q<del> did not work.
