what do you mean by '...doesn't work as expected'?
here works fine and exactly the same way xterm does...
what's your system? maybe some specific problem with that?

ok I'll add such reports...

"Sorry, a real VT100 terminal doesn't have function keys"

this is the message I get from my xterm, I have a Debian
woody up to date, and also from MGT in test 5.7 
About character set I'm sure they work fine,

see what follows:

8-bit controls enabled:    <27> [ 1 ; 1 R  failed


8-bit controls disabled:    <27> [ 1 ; 1 R  ok

as above this is what I get from my xterm 
and also from MGT...
I notice no difference,

				  thanks a lot
                                  for all your help
