Greetings,
I just started using FreeBSD, though I am familiar with other systems.  I
just changed my shell to bash2 using the ports system, and found the
installation to be effortless.  I has caused two problems however, that I
cannot resolve.

1) Vim no longer differentiates between Esc-commands and the arrow keys.
In Insert Mode, typing one of the arrow keys will insert a line (and type
A, B, and so on).  I have tried
:set notimeout
:set ttimeout
:set timeoutlen=100
To try and solve the problem, but it seemed to have no effect.

2) At the Bash prompt, the Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up, and Page
Down all simply insert a tilde instead of performing their allotted
function.

I realize this is probably a simple misconfiguration on my part, but could
someone enlighten me as to where, and how to fix it?

Thanks,
Stephen Siard

p.s. Yes, I've read the Vim docs, and that should have solved it, as far
as I can tell.
