I include all my terminal independent key bindings in my .joverc and
use the "source" command to source a different file of terminal
dependent key bindings for each terminal I work with according to my
$TERM variable.  This is done in my .joverc with the following line:
	source ~/jove/term/$TERM
where ~/jove/term is a directory of jove "terminal descriptions".  For
example, If I logged in on a vt100, I would set my TERM environment
variable to vt100 in my .profile, which would then instruct JOVE to
source ~/jove/term/vt100.  You will probably also need to
"set expand-environment-variables on" first.

A word of warning: on previous versions of JOVE, I have found that the
source command must be the last line in your .joverc.  I have not
checked this out for version 4.9.  Also, I use JOVE on System V, and
some of the above details may be slightly different for other
systems.
