The old entry did not work properly with underline and standout
[underline appeared just as standout]. It also was not resetting all
the modes and did not use the alternate screen. I really don't want
to find the least common denominator that works, because then the
entry will not work correctly for any xterm.

Upgrade or use the xterm-old entry :-) The new xterm is a lot better.
