O-kay, if you're sure.  I'll give it a try.  But terminfo says:

       keypad_local              rmkx   ke   leave 'key­
                                             board_transmit' mode
       keypad_xmit               smkx   ks   enter 'key­
                                             board_transmit' mode

And I'm talking about the arrow keys on the main keyboard, not the ones
on the numeric keypad.  These sound like the NumLock on/off sequences
to me.  Are you sure?

PS

Anyone know what the capability is for running in a separate buffer -
you know, so that when you exit the visual mode the text that was in
the xterm window is restored.
