[lug] backspace key not working in vi

[Hugh Brown]

Originally it was xterm but I have since switched it to vt100.  I have 
my .tcshrc doing an stty erase ^H, I will try it from the command line 
but I am dubious.  For some reason, in vi the backspace is showing up 
as ^?.  I think it has to do with all of the cutesy color term garbage 
that has been put in (nothing like a good bias).  I have been able 
to eradicate most of it but I think they set something somewhere else, 
I just can't figure out where.
