VT100 terminals have two "modes", application and normal mode. The
application mode returns the "\EO" sequences, while normal mode returns
the "\E[" sequences. I have no idea why this is done. Ask DEC what
they had in mind. :)

The mode of the terminal is controlled by escape sequences being sent.
You probably have ncurses putting the terminal into one mode, and slang
putting it into the other mode.

In order to make changes to the terminfo database, you must run "tic".
That is, generate a file with infocmp, edit it, then compile that file
with tic. Is that what you did?
