This is because when you use telnet, the arrow keys are converted to escape sequences for terminal emulation. Personally, I simply pulled out my vi reference and use vi over telnet, while still using ee locally (except for writing make files which must contain tabs that ee would convert to spaces). I guess this is a perfect excuse to finally learn vi. :-) I wonder if there is some configuration file that would allow us to convert the terminal emulation back to arrow keys at the remote system. There probably is a way, but I am still too much of a newbie to know what it is. Adam --- Got a FreeBSD web site?
