Backspace/Delete Issues?

[Aaron Davies]

I'm having issues using backspace and delete from within screen.
Backspace works fine in the shell running inside screen (bash), but
not at all in most other contexts, the most important of which is
screen itself--^A-<backspace> fails to do anything. Instucting my ssh
software to swap backspace and delete makes things worse, as screen
then interprets backspace as an attempt to enter copy mode, which then
immediately aborts.

This is screen 3.09.15, running on RHEL3u1, accessed using PuTTY 0.58.
