Tip: #1284 - Fix delete in terminals that send incorrect delete code

From the vimdocs:

"If your delete key terminal code is wrong, but the code for backspace is alright, you can put this in your .vimrc:

fixdel

This works no matter what the actual code for backspace is."

I use this on OS X running Vim 7.0 under an xterm on X11. I also find "set bs=2" to be very useful for getting sensible backspace behaviour.

Thanks a thousand, You saved my life!
