In the FAQs chapter 4.4.4 "How do I use my delete key in sh and csh?":

What should be acomplished:
"delete" removes character right of cursor.
"backspace" removes character left of cursor.

But the documentatation advises to remap both "delete" and "backspace" to
remove the character left of the cursor.

So these two lines shpould be deleted from the FAQ:

bind ^? ed-delete-next-char # for console

bindkey ^? delete-char # for console
