terminal in Centos5.10

[Fairlight]

Sounds like it's not emulating an xterm, then.

I'd try the entry for a vt100 and see if that works.  If most/all does,
you could borrow the vt100 entry, rename it to whatever you like, and add
:PV: for colour, if you want.

There is bound to be a combination of cobbled-together entries which
[mostly] works.  I say mostly because there is at least one place inside
clerk which does not honour the backspace key, even when the termcap and
stty settings are correct, and backspace works in the majority of the
program.  In PuTTY, you can use the alternate delete key to get around this
particular area, although I find it annoying.  There is no known fix of
which I'm aware.

All of this is on 5.0.x or earlier.  Very few of my clients have adopted
anything past 5.0.14.
