Orly and Benj: Nope, xterm has no effect either. It's the default terminal when I first log in. Maybe this is the culprit: I'm using screen. I tried vim without it, and the backspace key now works! However, when I'm in the INSERT mode, I can only delete thru backspace the text that I added at that time and not anything else. Anyway, this is still a problem since I plan to use screen while doing vim. And thanks again!
