Hyperterminal the default Windows terminal emulator is not enough compatible to vt100. Terminal type setting of it is just a echo string of "who are you" sequence. HyperterminalPro(upgrade product of Hyperterminal) is compatible to vt100's arrow keys. http://www.hilgraeve.com > > (2) Some setting is wrong on the FreeBSD end, and the sequences aren't > being interpreted properly; or > > (3) You just can't use the arrow keys from within a terminal emulator. > > If anyone could suggest how I can get some function out of the arrow > keys, it would be greatly appreciated. Use vt100 compatible terminal emulator. I am using teraterm(japanised vt100 emulator) and it works fine to operate FreeBSD. I also tried NORTON PCanywhere and it is good too. or(as final try?) type <ESC> + [ + A/B/C/D instead. Atsuo Kobayashi > > > =============================== > Jeffrey S.
