    Add this to ~/.Xdefaults

    XTerm*vt100.translations: #override \n\
            <Key>Delete: string(0x04) \n

    which maps Ctrl-D to the DEL key, then run

    % xrdb < ~/.Xdefaults

    to implement it (in the current X session).

    Note that this won't change the behaviour in the current xterm, but will
    in any new ones you open.
