Hmm, from the 5250.terminfo file I see: khome=\E[1~

Isn't that the same as what I'm trying to find?  Here's a silly thought (I
can't test this since I'm not at work and therefore can't run my xt5250)
but could it be that my numlock is on and causes problems?  I just noticed
that the 5250.terminfo has home and khome; the home being the ESC[H

(still thinking of the +sb, I guess)
