I'm using the included xt5250 script which uses xterm-5250 (that's what +tn
xterm-5250 does, right?)   My 5250 and xterm-5250 files in /usr/share/terminfo/?
were identical and had a date of Jan 13.  I deleted both and ran tic
5250.terminfo from the latest version of tn5250.  Same results.

I got a trace file (I'm skipping lots of it since I don't think it applies.)

Found string for cap 'kh': 'ESC[1~'.

curses_getch: recevied 0x1B.
curses_getch: recevied 0x5B.
curses_getch: recevied 0x48.
@key 27
HandleKey: Weird key ignored: 27
@key 91
HandleKey: key = [
HandleKey: fieldtype = 0; char = '['.
@key 72
HandleKey: key = H
HandleKey: fieldtype = 0; char = 'H'.



I don't see anything in the Xdefaults file that relates.  Where else should
I check?
