I'm using the ansi $TERM value, as that's what PuTTY emulates when on SCO keyboard mode, which works perfectly for the standard function keys.
if it helps, I can tell you that F13 is generated by \E[Y (escape [Y ). what I don't understand is, why tic thinks there's a ÿ and two : character/capabilities in the file.
(would you like me to attach the file?)
