Hello people, yes, I've done my Google homework. Yes, everybody seems to solve this problem using "set backspace=eol,start,indent" and "set fixdel". However, it doesn't work in xterms on this machine: Whenever I hit backspace, the character to the right of the current cursor position gets deleted.
Of course this is something one could get used to, but I'm using vim not only in xterms but also in the text console and in cygwin on another machine, and in all of these, backspace deletes to the left. Needless to say that it works fine in all other apps as well, and, most puzzling, even in vim's very own command-line editor. Just not in the text window. I don't get it. I really don't. BTW, it also worked fine before I stopped using "screen". I stopped using screen because I didn't really feel I needed it, and because the Xterm mouse support in vim, which I like, wasn't supported.
