Howdy, I am trying to get Xterm to work in practically the same way as the console, just with a bit better font support. I have searched the net and created an extensive .Xresources file, which is attached to this message. It is supposed to fix all the function keys, the six pack, and even the numpad keys. the problem is, the keyboard fix part, doesn't work. I found that if I export TERM=vt220 that most keys do work, but home and end in applications like nano and ne do not work still and cause weird behavior. I was wondering if exporting TERM should even be necessary, because in the console, I never have to do that, and it shows as "linux". Can someone please take a look and help fix up this .Xresources, and also, do I really need to export TERM, or can I ditch that setting? Thanks for the help, Storm --
