Getting backspace to work with RXVT/Eterm/konsole/etc: msg#00015

Subject: Getting backspace to work with RXVT/Eterm/konsole/etc
Hi there,

I'm having difficulty getting cone to detect my backspace key.  Has anyone 
managed to get cone to work with a term such as RXVT or Eterm without 
changing the behavior of the backspace to emit '^H'?

My backspace key currently emits '^?' which is correct, but only hitting 
ctrl-H in cone seems to delete backwards.

In rxvt, I have the TERM variable set to "rxvt", and I have this in my termcap 
database.  I've tried changing it to "ansi" and things, but with no effect.  
All other apps I have used with this terminal detect backspace correctly.

Incidentally, a standard 'xterm' works, but only because backspace produces a 
'^H', which breaks all sorts of other apps.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Giles
