- What is the proper byte to send when the arrow keys are pressed? I am
- assembling a communications program and I set the arrow keys to send the
- following to the COM port:
-
- KEY BYTE
-
- DOWN = 0EH (CTRL+N)
- UP = 10H (CTRL+P)
- LEFT = 02H (CTRL+B)
- RIGHT = 06H (CTRL+F)
-
- While this works fine with most programs I am connected to, some do not
- move the cursor at all. Please let me know what are the proper bytes to
- send to the COM port for the arrow keys.

- Thanks,
- Charlie Biemiller
