I'm using bash, with xterm-color as value for TERM. When I change it to xterm, it has no effect other than having a b/w terminal. The cursor keys in MC still print A/D/B/D ... When starting MC, the following hint appears from time to time: Hint: Keys not working in xterms? Use our xterm.ad, .ti and .tcap files. What does this mean?
