MicroEMACS 3.10 apparently doesn't recognize that 0x7f (Del) is an unprintable character, so when you run describe-key it shows a blank where "^?" or some other visual representation should be. And since it doesn't seem to provide any visual way to type an 0x7f, you can't use bind-to-key on it either. If you type a literal Del it backspaces, and if you type "^?" it says "[No such function]". unbind-key does work, however. -- David J. MacKenzie <djm@wam.umd.edu>

If you want a permanent change to what 0x7F does, modify ebind.h in the
obvious spot and recompile.

Unfortunately, I want to bind that key to a macro. -- David J. MacKenzie <djm@wam.umd.edu>
