The problem is that the vt100 and vt220 had two different sets of codes
coming from the arrow keys (I think they agree about the two sets).
termcap entries can only handle one set. If your terminal emulator uses
the set different from the set your termcap specifies, you have a problem.

I really think something's wrong w/ NetBSD's termcap handling. I can log
into my i386 at home from either my mac68k or my G3 running Xoftware, and
the keys work. If I then log onto an RS/6k and then to another NetBSD
machine, they keys DON'T work. Weird.

Take care,
