I have an application that uses ncurses KEY_F(3) and KEY_F(4) to clear some fields in a database form. Unfortately, between 2.2.1 and 2.2.5, this stopped working. It appears that ncurses doesn't recognize the F3 and F4 key any more, and returns an ESC instead (causing the application to quit). In all cases (2.2.1 and 2.2.5) I used an "xterm" terminal type. My guess is that something has changed in the termcap file. Can anyone confirm this, and tell me how to get ncurses seeing the right keystroke again? Thanks. -Brian
