+These terminals and TERM settings were tested and work fine:
+
+Terminal         TERM    Notes
+---------------+-------+------------------------------------------------
+Linux console  | linux | Default TERM setting.
+rxvt           | rxvt  | Default TERM setting.
+urxvt          | rxvt  | But *not* the default of "rxvt-unicode"!
+xterm          | xterm | Or "xterm-color". Enable "meta sends escape",
+               |       | or use Escape as the meta key.
+xcfe4-terminal | xterm | Works, but e.g. Alt-F activates the terminal's
+               |       | own "File" menu, so you have to use Esc-F for
+               |       | bed's "File" menu. Default TERM setting.
+konsole        | xterm | Default TERM setting.
+
+See also the TERMINALS section of bed's man page.
+
+Two quick things to test, the first time you start up bed:
+
+F7 and F8 should switch between Ascii and Digit-Hex input modes in the
+status bar at the bottom of the screen. If they don't, try running bed as
+'TERM=rxvt bed' or 'TERM=xterm-color bed'. If this works, you can define
+it as a shell alias in e.g. ~/.bash_profile. If you're launching bed
+from the KDE or XFCE start menu, you can likely force TERM from within
+bed's config file (~/.bedrc or /usr/lib64/bed-3.0.0/bedrc).
+
+Alt-X should exit the program. If it doesn't (if it does nothing, or does
+some other function like moving the cursor), try pressing Escape followed
+by X. If this works, you can either use Escape instead of the Alt key for
+all "Meta" commands, or else reconfigure your terminal. In xterm, this
+can be done with the ctrl-leftclick menu (enable "Meta Sends Escape"),
+or set xterm's metaSendsEscape and/or altSendsEscape resources to 'true'
+in ~/.Xdefaults.
+
+It should be possible to define a set of keybinds for bed that work with
+any terminal and TERM, with "bed -k ~/.bedrc". No, I don't know what a
+"stab" key is, either (just pick an otherwise-unused keystroke for it).
+I also don't know why it asks you to press the various keys in a seemingly
+random order... but it does work.
