I tried this several years ago.
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.

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.
