How to map the Delete key in vimrc?

On an old UNIX workstation, Freebsd 3.6 (I know 3.6 is old, but it isn't connected to network), my Vim doesn't have the Delete key mapped.

So I did

:set <del>=(pressed CTRL-V)(pressed delete/canc)

This works, but I don't know the correct syntax for vimrc

Using Ctrl-v in a terminal I can see that my Delete key sends ^[[3~. So I tried adding

map <DEL> ^[[3~

to my .vimrc, but that doesn't work.

Try it the other way around:

map <Esc>[3~ <Del>

Or use t_kD instead:

let &t_kD = "x1b[3~"
