I've had it set (automatically) to ANSI and VI messed up as the terminal being emulated was a VT100; changing it thus fixed the problem. 


It also depends on what physical terminal or terminal emulator you are using.
Your terminal emulator may provide key translation.

(If you are running a terminal emulator under Microshaft Windows for example, putty, terraterm, vterm, or hyper-terminal, there are configuration settings
relating to transmitted key sequences in the event of the delete key being pressed.

Post a follow up with more details about your setup, if you require additional
information on this.

I am using PuTTY on Windows XP Pro. And i'v checked the keyboard mapping, and backspace key mapping. PuTTY offers "Control-H" or "Control-? (127)" as backspace key mappings, neither of these work any differently.
