You might also need to bundle a proper terminfo file for xterm, and forcibly use it: the terminfo db bundled on the Kindle sucks.
(cf. htop in USBNetwork for an example of doing just that).

The more I read, the worse this looks.
I don't understand the relationship between all these files - the terminfo directory/files and all the libraries? how can I know what I need or what to call? Should I just compile ncurses and use those libs and should I make a new terminfo file?
I don't see where htop calls or uses the terminfo file. TERM is set to xterm, is there a better one?
So much to learn here! Any help, please?
