We present calculations of cross sections for single [ital W][sup [minus]] and [ital Z] production and [ital W][sup [minus]][ital W][sup [minus]], [ital W][sup [minus]][ital Z], [ital W][sup [minus]][gamma], [ital ZZ], and [ital W][sup +][ital W][sup [minus]] pair production within the standard model at [ital e][sup [minus]][ital e][sup [minus]] linear colliders. We evaluate standard-model Higgs boson production in the channels [ital e][sup [minus]][ital e][sup [minus]][r arrow][ital e][sup [minus]][ital e][sup [minus]][ital H], [ital e][sup [minus]][nu][ital W][sup [minus]][ital H], and [ital e][sup [minus]][ital e][sup [minus]][ital ZH]. We also illustrate the enhancements in the [ital W][sup [minus]][ital W][sup [minus]] cross section that would result from a strongly interacting Higgs sector or from a [ital H][sup [minus][minus]] resonance in a Higgs doublet+triplet model.
