When you resize the window or change fonts, A-Talk III recomputes the
no. of rows and no. of colums and RESETs the vt100 emulation to the initial
state.  Vn will no longer recognize the arrow keys, since that is not
the initial VT100 state.  Vn will send the appropriate sequence to put the
keypad and arrow keys in the correct modes at start-up only.  Most other
UNIX programs (like vi, for example) will do the same.
