Hi Chuck,
Just a little more help because I'm being super thick - what exactly
does "keypad application mode mean"? I understand the difference
between numeric mode and non-numeric, or I'm assuming that it works the
same way it does on PC. But the "application mode" thing is throwing me
off because I don't know what it means and can't draw my own analogies.

There are two columned - one for RESET and one
for SET. In my nice
simple universe, I press a key and a series of codes gets sent to the
host machine. So what does it mean to Reset or Set in this context?
In the the case of the VT100 (which probably is the one you're
probably interested in), keypad application mode is entered with
esc [?1h (i.e. "set")
and exited with
esc [?1l (note the lowercase "L"; i.e. "reset")
The reason for the names is that in "reset" mode, the cursor keypad
generates cursor movement commands. Also note that the keypad may
be put into numeric mode with "esc >" .
