I have been trying, with little luck, to bind VT100 cursor keys to 
VMS MicroEMACS.  Here is basically what I have been attempting to do
so far:

I have set my terminal type to applications keypad
and to VT100.  Then, I employ an EMACS.RC that goes something like 
this:

write-message "[Setting up cursor keys...]"
bind-to-key next-line			FNB
bind-to-key previous-line		FNA
bind-to-key forward-character           FNC
bind-to-key backward-character		FND

(The particular FN* bindings came from the MicroEMACS documentation, BTW.)

However, none of the cursor keys end up working.  I don't believe that
it's a foul-up with the terminal emulation of the physical terminal
used, since I have tried many different types of terminals.  (This
doesn't preclude a possible problem with SYS$SYSTEM:SMGTERMS.TXT or
SYS$SYSTEM:TERMTABLE.TXT, but I doubt that too.)

Could someone please help?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks...

						...Mike
