In the FAQ you can find some information about how get your bugsy bash be
able of reading Del key, and this patch adds the same information for the
also bugsy zsh. It also change the echo command by a standard printf without
special characters, so it is possible copy and paste the commands to the
shell.

+You can read in the zsh FAQ (http://zsh.sourceforge.net/FAQ/zshfaq03.html#l25):
+
+	It should be noted that the O / [ confusion can occur with other keys
+	such as Home and End. Some systems let you query the key sequences
+	sent by these keys from the system's terminal database, terminfo.
+	Unfortunately, the key sequences given there typically apply to the
+	mode that is not the one zsh uses by default (it's the "application"
+	mode rather than the "raw" mode). Explaining the use of terminfo is
+	outside the scope of this FAQ, but if you wish to use the key
+	sequences given there you can tell the line editor to turn on
+	"application" mode when it starts and turn it off when it stops:
+
+		function zle-line-init () { echoti smkx }
+		function zle-line-finish () { echoti rmkx }
+		zle -N zle-line-init
+		zle -N zle-line-finish
+
+So putting these options in your .zshrc you will fix the problem.
