I'll have to add one little thing to my original posting.  It is true that
someone had run the defaults editor and turned off the action of the
cursor keys.  However (and this is a big one), this change was GLOBAL to
*ALL* users, including root, and there is no guarantee that it was done
from my account.  In fact, last night, from my very non-privileged
account, I changed it back.  Everyone's account was corrected.

It seems to me that there is something very wrong when changes that should
be local to my account affect the usage of the entire system.  This sounds
a lot like a serious bug to me - even if it was caused because the system
was not installed correctly.  By the way, we are using SunOS 4.0 on a
SPARCstation 1.
