Hi victor ...  thanks for the thumbs up!

As for your issue, it depends on which version of XEmacs ...  there's a
FAQ about it  ...  i've forwarded it to the list where somebody should
be able to help better.

Victor,

Either put this:

(setq delete-key-deletes-forward t)

into ~/.xemacs/init.el or, if you prefer, you can also type M-x customize-variable delete-key-deletes-forward which will present you with some buttons you can use to turn it on.
