suggestions.
With any terminal emulation, you must ensure the terminfo and termcap
databases are exactly like the terminal is working.
At the shell prompt type cat -v. Then press the function keys and see what
is the escape sequense that they are sending. Then compare it with the
terminfo data. To see the terminfo data you are using, type "infocmp". To
edit it redirect the output of infocmp to a file, edit it, and recompile it
with "tic". To edit termcap info just convert your terminfo data to termcap
syntax with "captoinfo".
You can test if the function keys are working with midnight commander in
example.
Note that there are many details about the terminal working that are not
easy to see if they does not match the definition, but that makes the screen
appears incorrectly sometimes like auto margin and others. You may need to
work a few days until getting the correct terminfo...
