>Description:
The K2 and K3 capabilities are reversed in the termcap.5 manpage and
the ibmpc3 terminal description in /usr/share/misc/termcap. In two
other systems that I've looked at (SunOS 4.1.3 and HP-UX 9.01) and in
GNU termcap, the K2 capability describes the center keypad key (5)
while the K3 capability describes the upper-right keypad key (9). The
termcap(5) manpage and the entry for ibmpc3 in /usr/share/misc/termcap
use K2 as the capability for the upper-right keypad key and K3 as the
capability for the center key, which is the opposite.
>How-To-Repeat:
man 5 termcap
OR (the way I found it)
emacs
C-h k [kp-5]
emacs comes back with "kp-9 is undefined."
>Fix:
swap K2 & K3 in /usr/src/share/man/man5/termcap.5 and in the ibmpc3
entry in /usr/src/share/termcap/termcap.src. I'd give you a patch, but
I don't have a source tree at the moment.
