.vimrc on the 7.0 box: --------------------------- set autoindent set background=dark set backspace=indent,eol,start set cmdheight=2 set ignorecase set number set numberwidth=2 set report=0 set restorescreen=on set ruler set scrolloff=3 set showbreak=++ set showmatch set showmode set showtabline=3 set smartcase set smartindent set smarttab syntax on set visualbell set ff=unix --------------------------- I haven't manually set $TERM to anything, however I am running this inside "screen" (using UTF-8 encoding). So screen automatically sets $TERM to "screen". I just checked, and if I connect directly to the 7.0 box using PuTTy, the backspace key works fine all the time. Thanks for the quick reply.
