FC1 and tn5250 backtab mapping

Backtab used to work fine in Red Hat 9 but I only get the "[Z"
characters in Fedora Core 1 which leads me to believe this control
character is no longer recognized.  

How do I determine the correct control code to use for backtab?

/usr/share/tn5250/XTerm:

Shift <Key>Tab: string("\033[Z") \n\

man tn5250:

Function     Keypress
----------------------------------------
Prev Field   backtab [1]

[1]    Which keys generate f11-f24, backtab, backspace  and  delete  is
very dependent on the configuration of the terminal.
