Hi all,

here's the deal.  I use xterm because i like it.  But when i load vi, the
backspace key doesn't work on my local machine.  When i use wterm, it does.
When i use xterm to telnet/ssh somewhere else, it works fine.  But on my
local machine, using vi, backspace just beeps at me.  Delete works, but i
want backspace to work.

here are the contents of .Xdefaults:

=========================
XTerm*termName: xterm-color
XTerm*backspacekey:^H
Xterm*backarrowKey:false
XTerm*font:7x14

Xemacs*geometry: 80X35

=======================
What do you think?
