backspace key not working in screen on debian?

I am working on getting a nice .screenrc file setup and I've run into one problem. Screen causes my backspace key to stop working. Only my delete key works which is annoying to no end. Anyone know what I can place in this .screenrc to fix this? The backspace key works find in vi and my terminal so I know it's only a screen issue.

Thanks for the help.
