See terminfo / termcap also make sure you're using, exporting, and that the emulator knows what terminal it should be emulating. Another hint, the search path for terminfo (iirc) is: $TERMPATH, ~/.terminfo, /etc/terminfo, /usr/share/terminfo - if you don't have a compiled terminfo file with the right name in one of those places, don't try setting the terminal to the name as it won't work.
It might also help to subscribe to some Unix related lists (or one for cygwin or putty) or get on IRC. There's a technical reason for this - when I Google (or search my email) for info related to this subject, if I see a link or email related to vim in my search, I'm probably going to pass it by thinking the question was misplaced and the responses probably a waste of time. Ie, don't keep your questions on topic because the people reading that forum might not care about or be ignorant of the topic, but because, when you forget the answer and go to search for it again, it'll be way off here in this forum you'd never think to look for it.
