nope... direct from Midnight Commander's terminfo files... unorthodox
probably, but I just stumbled on it... xterm is (from what I gather) just
another type of terminal like ansi and vt100... Am I right?

Ta... thats solved my problem completely (well almost).... just needed to
change the getty to vt200 and enter the new strings in the terminal
setup... :)
But One Prob now... had to change Function Keys F5-F10, and F9 Wont work... :(
Goes like this: F8: {ESC}[20~ F9: {ESC}[21~ F10: {ESC}[29~
F8 and F10 work fine??? any explanation?
