SCO supports console scan code modes.  It does do for "DOSMerge",
among other things.  Wyse-60's (the first serial terminal to
support DOSMerge) also support scan code modes.

Seeems like a console compatability issue, to me.  Note that MS Word
for SCO and WordPerfect for SCO also use this mode on the console to
make it behave as closely as possible to their behaviour under DOS
(they also have terminal description files for the Wyse-60 for scan
code mode for the same reason).
