>Description:
Under syscons with and without GNU screen center of keypad (produces "5" with numlock) generates \E[E sequence that matches key_b2 capability in cons25 record. The same is true for plain xterm with xterm record. However, with screen center of keypad generates not \E[E but \EOE sequence. This sequence goes like the rest keypad sequences, e.g. ku: \E[A -> \EOA; kl: \E[C -> \EOC. One can enforce xterm to produce what it sees in termcap by `XTerm.keyboardType: tcap' resource. So you have correct mapping again. But this doesn't work because there is *no* entry for \EOE. So you get unchanged \E[E.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. $ xterm -kt tcap
2. turn off numlock
3. type Ctrl+V "center key" -> \E[E

It should be \EOE or whatever and present in termcap file for xterm record.

>Fix:
Workaround: add `termcapinfo xterm* K2=\EOE' to ~/.screenrc. This way one can use termcap binding instead of raw sequence, e.g.
$ screen -X bindkey -k K2 at xmp stuff " "

Another workaround: add :K2=\EOE: to xterm-xfree86 record in /etc/termcap

This one fixes GNU screen but not xterm `-kt tcap'.
