Ok, maybe I can put this one to rest. After doing some more
searching through vim's online help, I came across a setting
called fixdel. Partial output from help fixdel:
If your delete key terminal code is wrong, but the
code for backspace is alright, you can put this in
your .vimrc:
:fixdel
This works no matter what the actual code for
backspace is.
This basically works except that it only works in command-mode,
not in insert mode. It also works in ex mode, which is a big
help. This is something I can live with. Thanks to Bram Moolenaar
for putting in online help. It's one of the *many* reasons I
use vim. And thanks to Chuck and John for offering assistance.

Subject: RE: Backspace prob with vim under rxvt
Chuck, John, etc.
I have some more import information that may pinpoint the real
culprit. After some more testing, the backspace problem in vim
under rxvt (or wterm) occurs under my build of WindowMaker 0.60
as well as twm (from the X11 build by Suhaib) or if I bring up
the rxvt without any window manager.
If I use mwm (care of Suhaib's lesstif's build) the problem
doesn't occur. What's different about mwm, I have no idea.
Here's some more info:
STTY SETTING:
~ > stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 25; columns 80; line = 56;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = M-^?; eol2 =
M-^?;
start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V;
flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -tostop echoctl echoke
VIMRC:
The problem occurs regardless of whether I have a .vimrc or not.
INPUTRC:
The problem occurs regardless of whether I have a .inputrc or not.
There must be some single point of failure. By the way, I use Exceed 6.1
as my X-server.
Thanks for all the help so far.

my .inputrc contains a single line: "set bell-style none"
my stty settings are the default ( I run no explicit command in any dot
files to set them ) but stty reports:
speed 38400 baud; line = -96;
eol = M-^?; eol2 = M-^?;
CYGWIN=tty ntea nontsec binmode
My .vimrc is huge. 'nuff said.
My point was not that everyone should copy my settings, but that there
may have been some obvious thing in Kevin's settings that was messing
things up; e.g. 'stty erase ^h" or something similar but wrong. To tell
you the truth, I can't seem to get backspace to *not* work in vim, even
after messing up the CYGWIN and stty settings...go figure.

My build is a true X11 app, and therefore requires an Xserver running on
your computer.
