i don't understand this fully (perhaps bart or someone can give a more
depth explanation), but i believe that unless you specifically compile
zsh with ncurses (or have a version that was compiled to work with
ncurses) it uses some sort of system of its own.
you might try putting:
export TERMINFO=/etc/terminfo (or whatever your terminfo stuff is)
or
export TERMCAP=/etc/termcap (terminfo is better if it works)
you might also have to re-export $TERM - like:
if [ "$TERM" = "nettle" ]; then
export TERM=nettle
fi
i'd mess around with $TERMCAP, $TERMINFO and $TERM and see what works
best. i had a question about something similar a few weeks ago, so you
might check the recent archives for responses on the issue from those
wiser than i.
