- You can enable the arrow keys by doing a Cntrl-MB2 (on a three-button
- mouse anyway) while the minicom window is active; this will bring up a
- "VT Window Options" (or something like that -- I'm at work right now,
- so I can't check the menu name) menu, from which you can select
- "Enable application cursor movement keys" to enable your arrow keys.
- It'd be nicve to have this as a command line option to xterm -- does
- anyone know how to do this from the command line??!
