You can read how alpine deals with the terminal in 'http://http://www.washington.edu/alpine/tech-notes/low-level.html#terminal'. You can see that alpine doesn't use terminfo for anything. It only hopes that your terminal be a vt100 compatible terminal, but this is very funny because vt100 hasn't Delete key. You should read the st FAQ and this mail: - http://lists.suckless.org/dev/1212/13848.html
