 Yes.
 mlterm acts like rxvt if termtype is rxvt, and act like xterm if termtype is xterm.
 The difference is defined in 'termcap' file.

 The problem is that 'termcap' file included by debian is different from
the one I provide.
 This means that 'mlterm -y mlterm' hebaves differently (e.g. BCE)
in different environments.

 So, I'm sorry for the confusing situation, but it is not recommended to
use "mlterm" as the value of termtype option.

 "xterm" which the default value of termtype option is the least
problematic setting.
 I think mlterm works quite compatible with xterm now.

 If you use termtype=mlterm on debian with the new ncurses-term,
please remove ~/.mlterm/termcap and use the default setting of debian.
