I assume what you really mean is "how can I get the Del key to send
the SIGINT interrupt, just as Ctrl-C does under SCO"?

Assuming that the Del key sends DEL (0x7f) and not some escape
sequence, then

    stty intr '^?'

should do it.  However, this would need to be done for every
login.  To automate this, it depends on the O/S.

If your Del key sends an escape sequence, then you have to
reconfigure your emulator to send a DEL (0x7f) character.
