Screen continues to work; however, when in application mode,
the arrow keys on the numpad are exactly the same as the other arrow keys.
Also, the enter key on the keypad is the same as the normal enter key.
I would like these keys to give distinct codes so that I can get additional
functionality from them when in application mode. This problem occurs
even when I'm not using screen.

when I added echo $TERM to .ssh/rc I got this:

xterm

I got the same result by adding it to .zshenv
