- C'mon folks, if you have arrow keys, you should be able to use them.
- From all of the responses I've heard about this vi an arrow stuff, there may
- be more to it than I think, but when I purchased PT 3.0, my arrow keys did
- not work on some machines that used vi, but did work on others. This was
- with using vt100 term emulation. I had been using proterm 2.2 with vt100
- and the arrows always worked on any vi I used. So, I called up the InSync
- BBS, and they knew about this problem, and they updated the vt100 terminal
- emulation for PT 3.0. So, I got this file and it solved my problem. This
- seems to me like it would work for the guy who origionally posted this
- question.
