Those (the last two) tend to have $TERM set properly (at least half the time). I could let ncurses guess what to do based on $TERM and locale. For PuTTY, most users have it incorrectly set to "xterm"(*). There are no clues - so I added the environment variable to help. (*) It's incorrect because in several areas it does not match xterm. -- Thomas E.
