Mike,

     You were exactly right and thanks for the reply. I found the magic
words to Google that gave me parameters to pass to xterm to set it in such a
way that prevents the ^?. Handling the problem this way seemed like the most
simple way to solve it without messing with user environment settings.

The setting was -tm 'erase ^?'
