This isn't so much an issue of terminal type, as of the choice of default for a particular system and package. xterm has build options either way. > Obviously you're responding to some user reported bug, so here's a better > question: how does Emacs handle C-h on Linux under xterm? xterm on Linux is usually configured to send ^? by default, and its termcap/terminfo entries are configured accordingly. Cue hilarity when connecting from a system with a ^H xterm. Much the same for any other terminal.
