It is.

For a screen-less xterm, TERM=xterm-256color is the right thing:
everything works as I expect it to do. The problem is when screen
enters the picture. I've tried both TERM=xterm-256color and
TERM=screen-256color (with additional -bce, -s, or -bce-s), but with
no luck - they all behave the same: as in the "problem" description in
my previous mail.
