MC keyboard having troubles with Suckless Terminal (st)



Does anyone else use st as a terminal? I have used it from urxvt, mrxvt, lxterminal, ROXTerm, and others with only minor problems, but am having lots of basic problems with MC under st as follows:

1. Clicking mouse on menu or options, column headings, or Function key buttons doesn't work.
2. Function keys, like F9 for pulldown, doesn't work till I tap it three times
3. Once the top menu is up, arrow keys only work sporadically, and after a long delay, if they work. No way found to pulldown the second level menu
4. If I can get a dialog box up, keying in the fields and getting it to run doesn't work.

All of this works fine under ROXTerm on the same machine (Dell XPS I7 running antiX19.2 with IceWM). I'm just wondering if I need any special configuration for st to make this work. I haven't made mods to st other than font selection and screen size. MC is listed under "stuff that rocks" on the suckless site, BTW, so I would think that it's frequently being used by people running suckless tools.

MC is my most commonly used (and Favorite) terminal based program, so it is painful for it not to work right.

Thanks for any ideas, links or clues...
