Hi -

I'm trying to write a terminfo (and termcap) for the rlogingl program that's
a part of PC/TCP.  I wrote a small C program that captures what characters
arrive when I press arrow keys, etc., and put those entries in terminfo.

(I am quite familiar with how to modify and 'compile' terminfo files - I
don't think that's my problem)

Trouble is, this emulator sends two bytes for cursor and function keys,
and the *first* byte is a *null*.  In my terminfo entry for up-arrow (for
example), I've tried:

   kcuu1=\0\110,
   kcuu1=\200\110,
   kcuu1=\000\110,

...and none work (I use 'vi' to test this easy stuff  :-).

Question: is there something inherent about leading nulls on multi-byte
character sequences that I need to do something special for?

Thanks... (please send me E-mail - and feel free to post - 'cause I don't
often read this subject)
