You need to ensure that the key sequence returned by the bactab key is
defined in the terminfo entry.  For example, on the Xenix console,
backtab is <esc>[Z, so you need to

	a) extract the entry for "ansi" from /usr/lib/terminfo/terminfo.src
	b) add cbt=\E[Z, to it.
	c) recompile it with tic.

Oh, and of course, you need to be using terminfo cursesand not termcap curses.
