how do i track down what's different between page-up on one
xterm from another? argh!

i'm on my debian/woody workstation running X and gnome, i open
up an xterm and ssh into my debian/woody server downstairs.

i open another xterm into my debian/woody server across town.

downtown, i can browse manpages and use page-up/page-down (with
the help of ^V i can see that they send \e[5~ (up) and \e[6~
(down)).

downstairs, page-up/down give less (the pager used to view
manpages by default on both systems) cause to connipt, with lots
of visual bells flying about. (^V shows me that they're \e[5z
(up) and \e[6z (down) here.)

odder yet -- on the downstairs session, i ssh to the downtown
box and the behavior stays as it was downstairs. on the downtown
session i ssh back in to downstairs, and page up/down behave the
same way they did downtown.

how do i figure out what causes the difference in these two
xterm sessions? and :) fix it? [ a side question, where does
less look for its key mappings? "man lesskey" shows that by
default \kU is "back-screen" by default, but how do you tell
less that \e[5z is \kU? ]

i know about ~/.inputrc but that doesn't affect tcsh -- or does
it? maybe it's locale-related... where to look?
