I downloaded and installed rxvt (thanks for the tip, Elfyn). I'm on 
Win2K and have tty set in CYGWIN. Oddly, backspace doesn't work in rxvt 
itself. I launch Emacs and C-SPC, C-c, and C-@ map correctly, backspace 
maps to C-d, C-h maps to DEL.

Maybe this _is_ an emacs problem. Being rather clueless about character 
sets and terminals, does anyone have any suggestions for how to remedy 
this? I'd rather not tweak keybindings in my .emacs as I use it in 
various places, but I can if that's the solution. Thanks for everyone's
help.
