+       You need to make sure that you have the correct keyboard module(s) loaded.
+       For most Linux/UNIX terminals you want to load EITHER or BOTH kbd-xterm.tf 
+       and kbd-tf5def.tf. For TF on Windows and Mac OSX, you may wish to use
+       kbd-tf5def.tf only.

+       <para>
+       Additionally, it may be necessary to enable the so-called "application mode"
+       in your terminal. In OSX terminal app, the setting can be found in
+       Terminal/Preferences/Setting/Advanced and turn on "Allow VT100 application keypad mode".
+       </para>
+       <para>
+       In PuTTY, the application keypad mode should be enabled by default, but if
+       it is not, see the Features panel of PuTTY's configuration.
