I should add some information to this to explain why I need some help:
1. "m-x describe-key" tells me that my "backspace" or DEL is bound to
(backward-delete-char-untabify ARG &optional KILLP)
with value untabify. But if type lots of spaces (e.g. in the scratch or my
.emacs) and then press backspace, it only goes back one character at a time...
not untabbing.
2. describe on my control-backspace reveals that this is bound to C-backspace.
But when I try to create any form of binding for C-backspace in my .emacs I get
an error that control must be followed by a single character... so I don't have
a clue how to rebind this.
Help greatly appreciated :-)
