how to enable del key under bash?

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

I am using FreeBSD 4.10, working under bash. I use keymap "german.iso", and 
everything works fine, no problems with deadkeys or similar.

Only thing is, I can't use the "del" key. When I type a string in console, 
use "home" to get to first char and then hit "del" to delete this first 
char, I get a tilde (~) insted of earasing the character.

Any ideas on this?
Greetings and TIA, Matthias
