Informix doesn't use neither the "kb" entry, nor the "stty erase"
character. It looks to me as if ctrl-h is hardcoded as the erase
character.

On my terminal, F12 sends an escape sequence unless I set the terminal
into the VT100 mode. But I don't want to do that. I want to be able to
use all the neato keys like "Find", "Help", "Next Screen", etc.
