I think he is using FreeBSD which doesn't have an xterm-vt220 defined.

(ie in csh set term = xterm-vt220 fails...)

Note you can install the ncurses port
cd /usr/ports/devel/ncurses && make && make install

To get yourself both a  'tic' command and an 'infocmp' command

You can use tic to take 'source-form' terminfo entries of things like
xterm-vt220  that you find with google to see if this can be made to work
for you.



I still think you are better off making your macro aware of several
terminal types and setting up your key-mappings based on whatever (proper)
terminal type you have set for the terminal emulator you are using...
