| i think, the arrow keys work, but not as you might expect:
| keyboard(6) reads: 
| 	The view character (0x80), used by 8.5(1) and sam(1), causes
| 	windows to scroll forward. [...] The scroll character is
| 	generated by the VIEW key on the Gnot, the Alt Graph key on the
| 	SLC, and any of the three arrow keys <-, v, and -> on the other
| 	terminals
| 
| for anyhing else you're encouraged to use the mouse. :)

Either that or alter the keyboard driver.  :-)

In these internationalized days, shouldn't the arrows send unicode
arrow chars?  shift-arrow could send the double width ones.  And
control-arrow can spit out some motion oriented character, such as
page-up, page-down, home, and end should do.
