Hello,

Can someone help me understand problem with arrow keys under Win2k
telnet client? 

Microsoft says that telnet program that ships with Windows 2000 is
ansi compatible. And actually everything seems to be fine while I
use bash. But as soon as I run /bin/sh or /stand/sysinstall arrows
start printing their codes (like ^[[A).

Can't image how it can happen. A Pseudo-terminal knows that I'm using
ansi emulation (maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that $TERM
variable makes the work). The Client also seems to be using it as its
default emulation. But one shell understands arrows and another one
doesn't. 

Ok, when I change emulation to vt100 in Microsoft Telnet and connect
to FreeBSD box everything to work fine everywhere.

So the question what's wrong with ansi emulation? Does it need
configuring in /etc/termcap or somewhere else?
