There's a terminfo file that describes iTerm.app's capabilities there. To use it you create a ~/.terminfo on all your hosts and copy the ~/.terminfo/i/itermapp and the symlink from 69 to i (for OSX machines). Then tell iTerm to report itself as TERM=itermapp. http://delx.net.au/hg/hgdotfiles-generic/file/tip/.terminfo/ The source for this terminfo is at http://delx.net.au/hg/jamesstuff/file/tip/terminfo/xterm.ti Have a look at this URL.

Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. So far I haven't found any hint on this problem but I'm working on it. As far as I’ve been able to test, the only application not supporting dtterm is slrn wich yields :

Yes, <code>dtterm</code> does seem to work. However, when I use that setting, I get a warning viewing <code>man</code> pages on Ubuntu. Other than that, they seem equivalent. Are there any differences that you know of? Interesting. Yes, dtterm does seem to work.

Works with less, vi, mc. Dunno if it fits your needs. I’m using the dtterm $TERM to get the arrow keys working. Works with less, vi, mc. Dunno if it fits your needs.
