In xterm the numpad 1 and 7 buttons does not work properly

Question

I use VNC, open an xterm, and for example when I press "NumPad7", it completes "Home" command. Also "NumPad1" is mapped to "End". How to fix this?

In fact there is a code for .cshrc that does the work required. But unfortunately I can't translate it into a bash code. Please help me to translate. Here is the code:

if ($?TERM) then
    # fix the home, end, ins and del keys
    if ($TERM == "xterm" || $TERM == "vt100" || \
        $TERM == "vt102" || $TERM !~ "con*") then
        # bind keypad keys for xterm, vt100, vt102, console
        bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line  # Home
        bindkey "\e[7~" beginning-of-line  # Home rxvt
        bindkey "\e[2~" overwrite-mode     # Ins
        bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char        # Delete
        bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line        # End
        bindkey "\e[8~" end-of-line        # End rxvt
    endif
endif

You can try numlockx. It can set or toggle the state of numlock from the command line. To turn on numlock:

numlockx on

Now when you press NumPad7, for example, you'll get a 7.
