Help!

I am running Windows 3.0.  I can tolerate the terminal
program, but I can't get my backspace to function as even a plain
backspace, let alone as a delete.

I am on an Ultrix system (logged into one, that is), and I
have tried tty, vt52, and vt100 emulations (the 3 offered by windows
terminal).  Any suggestions?  When I was using ProComm Plus I had
to remap my keys, I recall.

Oh yes, ^H is not working for me.  IN fact, that is what the
terminal is sending to the system.

    No disclaimer necessary as this is *my* account, and besides - nobody
       would ever accuse anyone else of having these opinions anyway!

I use the vt100 terminal emulation setting with Terminal.  Also in my
.login file I have the command "stty erase '^h'".  Leave off the double
quotes (").
