Hi Rodrigo:
thanks for your help, but It still does not work for me.  
this is what I did:
1) emacs .emacs
2) enter (global-set-key [f9] 'delete)
3) C-z to save and exit the file
4) I emacs temp.out file typed some letters and when hit the f9 key, it does
not work.

What am i missing.....

Hi,

In your .emacs, to map a key to a command, you can do like this;

(global-set-key [<KEY_ID>] '<COMMAND>)

where <KEY-ID> should be replaced with the identifier of the key, and 
<COMMAND> should be replaced with the command you want to be executed when 
<KEY-ID> is pressed.

For example,

(global-set-key [f9] 'compile)

would run the "compile" command when "F9" is pressed.

Hope it helps.

BTW, by your name I presume you speak portuguese, right?
