Well, you can't redefine the built-in Delete command, but you sure can
change whatever is bound to the button labeled "Delete". Because of the
way gentoo's commands work, you also (I think, heh) can't use a command
like this: Move {Fp} /tmp/trash, but instead you must make one of the
panes go to the trash directory, change to the other (the original source),
Move the files, and then be done. The problem here is that it will leave
the destination pane stuck in the trash dir, which is not what you want.

I'm not sure off the top of my head if it's possible to do better, let
me investigate this a bit and get back. Or, perhaps someone else on
the list has already done this (or something similar) and can fill in
the details, of course.
