My normal windows are xterms. I have a numeric keypad which normally produces
the correct characters - for instance pressing 'KP_0' generates a '0'. But
when I start up vi (and nn) in this xterm window, the KP_0 generates the
corresponding vt100 escape code (I think) (eg - KP_0 -> ^[Op).
Can someone explain this please.  Does xterm map the key differently for raw
mode operation?

How can I get KP_0 to generate a 0 in vi (other than with a map! in my .exrc).
