For some reason, you don't have the key sequences output by the `Del'
and `Ins' keys bound to what you expect.

To find out the key sequences, if any, are bound to the `delete-char'
function (which deletes the character to the right of the cursor), run

bind -p | grep delete-char

You can run `cat -v' to see the key sequence output by the Del key.

Once you have that, you can bind it to the delete-char function in
your .inputrc.
