termcap question

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I have installed a (commercial) accounting package at a clients and 
everything went well except one issue. The arrow keys aren't working 
properly. Speaking to their tech-support (OSAS is the company) they had 
me run a little program inside their app that reported keystroke codes 
(I am guessing). The guy told me to edit my '/etc/termcap' file to 
create a new console ('linux' and 'xterm' didn't work) that "used those 
codes (see below) for the arrow keys.".

   Unfortunatly he was unwilling to give me any forther guidance because 
it was outside their program. I need to make it so that when the arrow 
keys these codes are passed:

up-arrow...: \E0A
down-arrow.: \E0B
left-arrow.: \E0D
right-arrow: \E0C

   I am feeling honestly lost. I can understand the logic (change the 
code passed to the program when key X is pressed) but beyond that I 
don't have a clue what to do. The file itself is... cryptic... and the 
pointer for more help in it is no longer valid.

   If anyone can give me a pointer or two I would (again) be greatul!
