Question: in /etc/termcap is 'k0' function key #1 on the terminal or is 'k1' the function key #1 (ie most terminals I have seen have function keys label f1-f8). The manual seems to have them going k0-k9.

The corresponding labels should be assigned to l0 etc. The key labels need not have anything to do with the sequence number of the capability. For example, on a VT100, PF1 can be described by k0 and l0. Because this is usually done wrong, termcap-using software should not assume this scheme was correctly followed.
