Install this shell script somewhere on your path:

------- isterm -------
test "x$TERM" = "x$1"
----------------------

Then you can put conditional code in your .joverc:

if isterm vt100
	bind-to-key ansi-codes ^[[
endif
if isterm sun
	bind-to-key ansi-codes ^[O
endif

I'm thinking about adding a slightly smarter if command, but that will have
to be after all the other projects in my queue.
