Sure enough!  I looked in my ~/.Xdefaults files and found I had a lot
of Motif/OSF cruft left over from long ago.  After removing it, BS/DEL
work correctly in netscape.  Thanks.

Now, I just need to figure out how to get emacs to work correctly.  I
have a lot of left over cruft in ~/.emacs as well.  Perhaps that is
screwing things up.
