Araki,

Thanks for your replay as it's hard to find information in English
regarding mlterm. See my comments in-line below.

Regards,
Vlad.

Initially I've user TERM=mlterm-256color where Home/End keys waren't
working, but if I use TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color, at least Home/End keys
are working properly. Nevertheless, I don't understand why (khome is the
same for both terminals):

infocmp rxvt-unicode-256color | grep home
        home=\E[H, hpa=\E[%i%p1%dG, ht=^I, hts=\EH, ich=\E[%p1%d@,
        kf8=\E[19~, kf9=\E[20~, kfnd=\E[1~, khome=\E[7~,

infocmp mlterm-256color | grep home
        enacs=\E(B\E)0, flash=\E[?5h\E[?5l, home=\E[H,
        khome=\E[7~, kich1=\E[2~, kind=\E[a, kmous=\E[M, knp=\E[6~,

This was exactly the reason! I didn't try to reassign these keys, but
when I've tried to open new tty using corresponding key combination it
doesn't work.

As I mentioned already, I've been using rxvt and pseudo graphics works
fine there with tmux/screen.

This script works perfectly fine. While base color definitions in
~/.mlterm/color works fine, if I define additional colors there like
"color25=#005faf" they are not picked up.
