Description Joseph Carter 2003-01-05 23:20:17 UTC

wterm is an rxvt-based thing, but it defaults to using xterm for the TERM
environment variable.  xterm and rxvt have significantly different key controls
f things like the editing keys and keypad on extended keyboards. 
--with-term=rxvt to ./configure would help matters a bit.

wterm-6.2.9-r2 has been added to portage currently marked unstable with a couple of changes.  your configure option has been included.
