I used xev. There is probably a better way.

One more thing though. On my TiBook I have to swap these for the keys
to work right. I use an external keyboard as well and with the swapped
definition everything works as expected.
Aha! I did this because I did not understand the "one true way", which
has been made clear to me by:
http://www.squish.net/docs/delbs.html
I was mislead because the key labelled 'delete' was sending the keysym
BackSpace, but apparently this is "the right thing". So you can just
delete those two mappings since the defaults are correct.
I (now) have the following in my .Xresources:
! Use DEL for erase
XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^?
XTerm*eightBitInput: false
! BackSpace will send DEL
XTerm*backarrowKey: false
XTerm*loginShell: true
