	What I proposed was to make elle use the arrow keyes et el WITH OUT THE
USE OF .ELLEPRO IN ANY FORM. Build it into the DEFAULT system. I know you can
add arrow key support by using a .ellepro file, it would be nice if you didn't
HAVE to. Doing that TAKES AWAY THE FEATURE FROM THE KEY THAT HAD IT ORIGINALLY!
This is the biggest complaint with people using it here, the arrow keys don't
work like the emacs they use on the big system. You can't just change a few
keys, you have to reset them all, and people don't want to go through the 
hassle of making bindings for all the keys, especially if they only want to
change a few. Another suggestion would be a local change / init script that is
read in be elle to rebind a few keys at startup. Sort of like a mini .ellepro
or a save/restore setup command (where you could save buffer config etc. as
well).

			Sorry to be-labor the point;
