Trouble in RXVT with line wrap

[Randall R Schulz]

David,

Isn't _what_ a bug? I have no trouble with line wrap, including backspacing 
from a wrapped line back to the line on which typing began. With or without 
readline expansions having been applied.

I experience no troubles whatsoever, and have not since I got the prompt 
strings worked out to properly use \[ ... \].
