Well, that would address the issue with "less" (if it used the same behavior in either terminal). rxvt should be setting $TERM to some "rxvt" name though, since its function-keys differ from xterm's. (I seem to recall that some packages for it used to set TERM to "xterm", under the supposition that a poor match was better than none). --=20 Thomas E.
