Because Eterm is not exactly an xterm, and $TERM=xterm doesn't describe
it accuratelly. There's a terminfo description in Eterm sources
(doc/Eterm.ti). Either install it (then it will overwrite your xterm
definition and <f2> won't be recognised in the actual xterm) or modify
it before installing to change the name to Eterm (and then set TERM to
Eterm).
This might or might not work -- as I remember, Eterm.ti had some bugs
which were fixed in the CVS version. I don't remember if the 0.9
release has those fixes (and I'm pessimistic about 0.8.x). I use the
latest CVS version -- all bugs that annoyed me with 0.8.x and 0.9 are
fixed there.
