Subject: backspace/delete in vim?

I am running Pine on a RedHat 7.2 system, in an xterm.  For
consistency between applications I would like to make vim my
default message editor in pine.  However, when I invoke vim
from within pine, the backspace/delete situation is confused --
backspace generates a ^?, delete rubs out the next character,
and only CTRL-H seems to work as expected to delete the character
before the cursor.  Outside of pine, the keys behave in their
normal (convenient) manner.  Does anyone know what to do to
make vim work correctly from within pine, without breaking
anything else?
