how to remap backspace and delete keys for 'info'?

When I'm in 'info' and try to scroll backward a page using the
backspace key, I get *Info Help* instead. Since I also get help when I
hit C-h, I suspect my backspace maps to C-h instead of DEL. (FWIW
using the delete key (<delete>) gets the response
> Unknown command (~).
) Note also that I get this behavior running 'info' from either bash
or cmd.
How can I remap my backspace key in/for 'info'? Alternatively, how
can I otherwise get the desired DEL behavior?
Apologies if this is a FAQ (I know it is for Emacs, where I know how
to fix it), but I didn't see anything relevant in info.info, the
Cygwin FAQ, the Cygwin User's Guide, or the 'cygwin' list archives.
Also, please reply to me as well as the list: I tried to subscribe,
and got the happy page saying "your request has been received, and
we'll send you a confirmation post shortly" but I haven't received the
email yet.
FWIW
