Thanks for your reply.
I'm using rxvt. I use the following in cygwin.bat:

bash --login -i -c 'rxvt -geometry 80x29 -sb -sl 10000 -bg Black -fg 
green -bd LightSeaGreen -fn Courier -font 7x15'

I've tried setting
term=builtin_xterm -> bad characters when using cursor, no 
backspace=delete to previous line as in vim set backspace=2, no info 
telling me which mode I'm in.
term=ansi, backspace=2 -> no mode info, backspace deletes but screen 
doesn't show deletions until next insert (annoying, not workable)

If there are any cygwin users on XP who have a nicely working vi, please 
let me know what your settings are.

Thanks.

Kind regards.
Luke.
