Right. So, in other words, because emacs wants to use control-H for help 
instead of backspace, you have to map the backspace key to a non-standard 
escape sequence somewhere in the kernel of the OS, just in case you're 
running emacs. Gee, thanks for that.

The backspace key *should* send ASCII backspace. But since Emacs broke that, 
they decided to make it send something else, rather than fixing emacs.
