Comment # 2 on bug 936330 from Dr. Werner Fink

Even if the entries differ: Do those entries work? Remember that many terminal
emulators have two different modes.  this is true for XTerm as wel las for
(u)rxvt.  That is that ncurses uses the alternative screen which has different
escape sequences.

To test this, e.g. with Cursor UP

  a)  On shell command line this gives ESC [ A

  b)  In vi input mode this gives ESC O A

both tested with Control-V CursorUP ... and now comparing with

  suse/werner> infocmp -1 -T rxvt | grep kcuu1
        kcuu1=\EOA,

seems corect.  In other words: for all shells, that is the standard command
line mode is used, all escape sequences may be coded hard.  This is done in
e.g. /etc/inputrc and /etc/profile.d/bindkey.tcsh and as well as in /etc/zshrc.
