The simplest method for swapping C-h and DEL at the lowest levels (so
low that 99% of GNU Emacs never knows you are actually now hitting the
key labeled "DEL" for C-h and C-h for DEL) is to simply
(load "term/bobcat")
in your .emacs file. [This file can be found in
.../lisp/term/bobcat.el in the GNU Emacs file tree.] Reading the
documentation for the "load" command will tell you how to turn off (if
you want) the message it makes.
