Actually I've been carefully through ksh man, and if I try to use prefix-2
more than once it just applies to the last entry, e.g.:

bind '^[[3'=prefix-2
bind '^[[3~'=delete-char-forward

and here Del works OK, but if I add:

bind '^[[7'=prefix-2
bind '^[[7~'=beginning-of-line

then Home works but Del does not anymore, and this does not even consider
End; as well, trying with:

bind '^[['=prefix-2
bind '^[[3~'=delete-char-forward
bind '^[[7~'=beginning-of-line
bind '^[[8~'=end-of-line

yields a flawlessly working Del, plus a working Home and End which, each
time pressed, add a nasty tilde at cursor.
All this testing was made in CLI only
