From the keyboard of it1@ra.MsState.Edu (Tim Tsai):

:  New question.  Is there a way to get vi to recognize the cursor keys
:on input mode?  

Sure, use my .exrc -- basically do this:

"	ARROW MACROS next four let arrows keys work in insert mode; 
map! ^V^[OA ^V^[ka
map! ^V^[OB ^V^[ja
map! ^V^[OC ^V^[lli
map! ^V^[OD ^V^[i
"
" 	Who says you can't emulate emacs in vi? :-)
"
map! ^B ^V^[i
map! ^F ^V^[lli
map! ^A ^V^[I
map! ^E ^V^[A
"
"

There are probably extra-v's there cause of how i develop these, but
that won't hurt anything.
