1. Start Emacs (emacs -Q)
2. Start the Emacs tutorial (C-h t)

The tutorial shows a notice at the beginning, warning us about the
customization of "some basic editing commands". If you search for
"rebound", you will see that apparently "someone" has rebound the C-d
key. But that doesn't make sense, as we haven't customize anything so
far.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the Emacs version I'm using: It's the
latest pre-compiled version from
"http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/".

NEWS says:

  *** New command `delete-forward-char', bound to C-d and [delete].

and this is what the tutorial assumes. But for me also in emacs -Q:

  <deletechar> (translated from <delete>) runs the command delete-forward-char
  C-d runs the command delete-char

The relevant ChangeLog entry says:

    * bindings.el (global-map): Bind C-d to delete-char and deletechar
    to delete-forward-char.

So there is some confusion about what should be bound to C-d.
