Dear all,
I did receive reactions from CBee, Edward and Eef Hartman
(splendid explanation in the Dutch language).
Thanks go to all for pointing me in the direction of xmodmap.
Unfortunately I do not have time to figure things out in the next
few days so I summarize the contributions in English below.
Kind regards,
Eric

4: You can also use a software solution: use `xkeycaps`
(http://hpux.tn.tudelft.nl/hppd/hpux/X11/Misc/xkeycaps-2.46/):
4.1: Select the desired keyboard and use the 'type at window' option
4.2: Select your local keyboard and redefine not/rarely used keys
4.3: once 4.2 works, create an "xmodmap" file.
You might also be able to get a HP-style terminal emulator, like KeaTERM for
vax/vms terminals. They also have software/window keyboards or keyboard
mappings.

Hello Eric,
How about a keyboard map (see man xmodmap).
You could assign a character of your choice to act as the "delete char"
for example. The only hard part is knowing/guessing/finding the keyodes.
Best regards,
Edward
