Ok, now I'm confused even more...  I know DEL deletes backward, but in
the manual it is related to <backspace> key.  Now, I'm writing about
"Delete" key (button) that is below "Insert" and next to "End", not
about "Backspace" key.

So, to write it as simple as possible, on keyboard 'C-d' deletes char
forward, so does 'Delete' button.  'M-d' kills word forward, so I'm
expecting 'M-Delete' will do the same, but instead it kills backward
because it's translated to 'M-DEL'...
