Hello.  I am running FreeBSD 1.1 and XFree86 2.1.  When I'm typing in an 
X-Windows application, such as xedit, my backspace key works just like it's 
supposed to.  However, when I'm in an xterm, the backspace key doesn't work 
(it just prints a ^H in the window).  I can use the delete key, but it's real 
inconvenient -- I'd rather have the correct key do the deleting.  If anyone 
has a suggestion, please email it to me.  
Thank you for your time,
Mike Bitz
