Ken Yap explained.  Basically, I shouldn't be using the xterm termcap
or terminfo entry.  It gets raw keyboard events and translates them
into VT100 escape sequences.  Basically, when I see an "xterm" in a
$TERM string, it's going to mean the editor should be loading the
definitions for a VT100.

Which won't work if people have set up VT!)) translations in their
.Xresources  to generate some other escape sequence, or perform some
other action instead (like scroll the window).

Interesting.
