well, it's up to your emulator what to do with the keypad: a vt100 numeric
keypad doesn't emit HOME/END,etc - so it's arguable that it doesn't have
to handle switching between normal and application modes.  So what you have
is a slang- and (whatever emulator)-specific patch.

Just to refresh my memory - what does your terminfo (or termcap) look like?
(If terminfo, do "infocmp", if termcap, slang has a program to render its
view of this info anyway).
