Actually, I didn't fix my terminfo entries.  I'm binding the
functionality I want into the sequences \e[7~ and \e[8~ directly in my
.muttrc.  The original problem I had was that aterm uses \e[1~ and \e[2~
(IIRC) on Linux, which were bound by default as KP_FIND and KP_SELECT,
so they were un-bindable under Mutt.  Re-compiling aterm to *not* use
the LINUX_KEYS define made the key-sequences available in Mutt.


Arguably it would be correct to fix the terminfo database, but (a) I
don't know how to do that and (b) I'm hoping to be able to do a full
re-install with Debian at some point, it didn't seem worth the effort.
Also, (c), I wasn't sure what and/or where to even begin to fix and to
make sure ncurses gets the right key -- now reading the terminfo man
page, it does say that ncurses would be affected, so indeed changing
the terminfo entry would likely help.
