TERM=screen on console. screen 3.9.9 on Linux 2.4.9. ncurses
5.2-20010811. If it's broken Thomas E. Dickey will fix in the

dd ? The utility from fileutils ? No. If I press Shift+F1 in
MC:

root<pts/4>(16:33:58)[mc] # [25~

The subshell.

Sorry, Shift+F2 prints [26~, not [26~[28~.

Nothing. No OK or any other message.

OK, syntax highlighting doesn't work and I have problems with
keys. The rest apparently works.
