The terminal program should be emulating the same kind of terminal that the
host thinks it is, and then if the host application is coded correctly,
arrow keys should "just work". However, with VT terminals, there are a
couple extra considerations:
1. You might need to tell Kermit to "set terminal bytesize 8" (you probably
have done this already if you are using Latin-1).
2. The arrow keys can be in one of two "modes". It is the host
application's responsibility to ensure that the right mode is selected.
However, many host applications fail to do this and just assume the
arrow (cursor) keypad is in a particular mode.
The command to force Kermit's arrow keypad into a particular mode is:
SET TERMINAL ARROW-KEYS { APPLICATION, CURSOR }
