Seems fine.  Hmm.  Don't we have Xfree 4 now?  I wonder if xterm needs the
'xterm-xf86-v40' entry.  Can you add (or create a ~.termcap containing) :

xterm-xf86-v40:tc=xterm-xf86-v33:

I see that the 'master' entry for v40 also has 'kD=\177'.  If the above
doesn't work, could you try :

xterm-xf86-v40:kD=\177:tc=xterm-xf86-v33:

?  Thanks,

J
