I am trying to figure out how to remap the arrow keys so that I
can use them with GNU emacs in a wsh window.  The problem seems
to be that the sequence for up arrow is \e[A however when I try
to use  (define-key global-map "\e[A" 'previous-line) all I get
is Key sequence ^[[A uses invalid prefix characters.  This seems
like it should work, and the arrow keys do work on the version
compiled with the X flags on, but I need to get this so it will
work in a wsh window.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please reply to bmiller@shamash.cdc.com  thanks.
