I haven't tried fiddling the terminal type, and would prefer not to unless it's the last resort. >curses uses the termcap database to determine how int interacts with >the keyboard so changing the terminal type to somethingwell defined >might make a difference? The ncurses libraries support termcap, but I think that all current versions of curses use terminfo which has many more options under ncurses than the original AT&T versions had. I suspect that the problem is more related to keyboard mappings in the Apple X11 implementation than it does with the terminfo and terminal type settings as the same applications work fine from Linux desktops. I've looked into xmodmap, and the X Resources that xterms support, but it would be much nicer if there is something I can handle in my python ncurses routines than if I have to dig into the keyboard mapping stuff.
