This presently renders the ae editor nonfunctional in an xterm (and, I'd guess, gives dftp problems in an xterm as well. I noticed that dftp uses ae as a dropout editor). This uncovered some problems in ae, which I'm addressing separately. Testing with xterm from xbase-3.1.2-6, I get \E[e for the END key, but the terminfo entry has kend=\E[[. Also, the terminfo entry has no capability defined for the DEL key. Testing, I get ^? when the END key is pressed. Also, the terminfo entry has no capability definitions for kf13 through kf20 (shifted f3 thru shifted f10). Testing, I get the following for these: kf13=\E[25~, kf14=\E[26~, kf15=\E28~, kf16=\E29~, kf17=\E[31~, kf18=\E[32~, kf19=\E33~, kf20=\E34~   Acknowledgement sent to Bill Mitchell <mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com>:
