>Description:
/etc/termcap looks like not to be maintained enough, I think.
For example, entry 'kterm' refers to 'xterm' not to 'xterm-color', though it can treat ANSI color.
Some entries answer a wrong key-code, some entries don't know x? flags right.
It's an old status or an obsolute information, because of no maintenance of termcap, isn't it?
Of cource, it is not due to FreeBSD core team, then it's the probrem for all UNIX societies, I know.
But, for one probrem of FreeBSD, I want to treat this, to establish the project team,
Anyway, investigate /etc/termcap, please.
>How-To-Repeat:
see /etc/termcap

>Fix:
I think that each entries must be checked with the terminal status, one by one.
I cannot found no other way.
