/usr/lib/terminfo on IRIX 6.2 as I am using

For GRASS 4.3:
Neither option ticked, arrow keys don't work, but Esc and Return do work

For GRASS 5.0.0:
"Enable Application Cursor Keys" is ticked, arrow keys do work, but Esc
and Return don't work

For latest CVS version:
Neither option ticked, arrow keys don't work, but Esc and Return do work
(back to GRASS 4.3 behaviour)

Here is some info from my system:

Variations on 'iris' terminfo entry:

iris
iris-ansi
iris-ansi-24
iris-ansi-24-net
iris-ansi-66
iris-ansi-66-net
iris-ansi-net
iris-tp
iris40

Output of 'infocmp iris':

I hope some of this might be useful.
