Hmm, strange. The only HP-UX box I have access to says :
$ uname -rs
HP-UX B.11.00
$ infocmp -C | grep "k[a-z]="
:k3=\EOR:k4=\EOS:kb=^?:kd=\EOB:ke=\E[?1l\E>:kl=\EOD:\
:kr=\EOC:ks=\E[?1h\E=:ku=\EOA:nd=\E[C:\
This is the same sequence that other OS's use - "ks" and "ke" to set/end
application mode and the keys sending sequences starting with <esc>O.
What do HPUX 10.20 and Slackware 8.0 have for the 'ks' and 'ke' sequences?
