I'm not sure you understood what I was saying, Jeff.  I was saying that
PuTTY itself -only- does "Erase" on the Delete key, and cannot be changed.
PuTTY doesn't let you fully remap the keys.  It doesn't matter what
server-side emulation you're using; if you use PuTTY, Delete returns the
"Erase" code.
