The bug report tells me what options I did use (only '--without-x'), but I was hoping for a way to find .configure options that could help that I didn't know about and call .configure with. For my next step I'll iterate through setting my $TERM environment variable to the different possibilities offered in share/emacs/23.4/lisp/term/ to see if anything works. (Originally, my $TERM is set to 'xterm'). So far the 'vt???' set makes my backspace remove the previous character like I want, but my delete is still wrong, removing that previous characters rather than next characters.
