xterm del key problem

[kickmetoandy]

Hello,

i have a problem with the del key in my xterm window. when pressing the del key a '~' character is added at the current cursor
position, however i expected the character at the cursor position to be removed. the del key works fine for my root user,
but does not work properly for my andy user. i have already tried to remove my .bashrc but that did not change anything.
is there a special keyboard setting required. any ideas ?

any help is appreciated.
btw. i am using a german keyboard layout.

thanks,
Andreas
