>Number: 289 >Category: gnu >Synopsis: info(1) cannot handle arrow keys on a VT100 >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs (FreeBSD bugs mailing list) >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Apr 1 12:00:01 1995 >Originator: J Wunsch >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development i386 >Environment: >Description: info(1) beeps when being faced with the arrow keys as sent by a VT100- compatible terminal.
