This may be a bit picky, but the kN and kP are probably the CORRECT values,
at least as of this year.  Those are the values used in the 'new' curses
for Sys V.3.  Finding documentation on them can be, however, a real problem.
They are not described in the current curses documentation nor used in any of
the Sys V.2 terminfo's.  Also included in the new version is a set of
descriptions for the full 64 function keys plus numerous other (enhanced
I guess) values like Shifted NEXT key and such.  Since none of these are
defined in BSD4.2 and I don't have BSD4.3, you could say the kN and kP are
the correct values and that SCO's PD and PU should be removed.  Good luck!
