My data is stored as WGS84 lat/longs and I want to use Google Terrain as the base layer, but the points drift off their locations as they get closer to the bottom of the map window. I know the problem is in the projections I'm using but I can't figure out the right combination of 900913, 4326, WGS84 etc etc. Could someone please explain what I should do to the vector layer on which my points are plotted and to the Google layer I am using as my base. 

You didn't explain how your points are 'being plotted'. Loaded via
KML/GML? Constructed manually and Added via addFeatures()? The answer
depends on the situation.

In geneal:
 * If you create the geometry, it's your job to transform it.
 * If you are using a Layer which creates the geometry, setting the
  'projection' option to match the projection of the remote data should
  do it for you.
