All excellent answers. (Thanks, Jan!) They still doesn't answer

basic question why I can't rebind this key inside XEmacs, when I can
rebind every other key. Note that I don't care about most of the
issues raised by other people. I don't care about Help, specifically.
Well, if you're trying to do this from ~/.emacs, you have to do it
via "term-setup-hook", as Emacs loads the term setup code *AFTER*
reading your ~/.emacs file (which means that any changes made in ~/.emacs
get blown away). Here's an example (for someone who recently asked me
how to force C-h to be 'delete-backward-char, and not help):
===============================================================================
;; Add this to your ~/.emacs file:
(defun munge-keyboard ()
(let ()
(cond
( (eq window-system 'x)
(progn
;; Setup for X-windows
(global-set-key "\C-h" 'delete-backward-char)
))
( (or (string= (getenv "TERM") "vt100") (string= (getenv
"TERM") "vt102"))
(progn
;; Setup for VT-100 terminals
;; Do other stuff here.
))
)
))
(add-hook 'term-setup-hook 'munge-keyboard)
===============================================================================
