Those are C mode bindings, but I do not know why C mode would be
activated for a file/buffer called "t".  In any case, when C mode is
loaded, it redefines some keys, and in particular binds the ESC Ctrl-H
sequence to c_mark_function.  What you need is a C mode hook, or more
generically a global mode hook.  I suspect that the latter will work
better for you.  So I suggest adding the following to your .jedrc file:

  define global_mode_hook (hook)
  {
     local_setkey ("yp_bkill_word", "\e^H");
  }

Here is a description of the global_mode_hook function from the
hooks.txt file distributed with jed:

global_mode_hook
----------------

This hook is called by the run_mode_hooks function prior to calling
the actual mode-hook.  It takes a single argument whose value is the
name of the mode-hook.  For instance, many users prefer to have the
TAB key always insert a TAB instead of running the indent_line
function.  The easiest way to enforce this for every mode is through a
global_mode_hook such as:

    define global_mode_hook (hook_name)
    {
        if (hook_name != "c_mode_hook")
	  local_setkey ("self_insert_cmd", "\t");
    }

This example illustrates how to cause the TAB key to insert a TAB in
all modes _except_ C-mode.


I hope this helps. --John
