Well, this is all a matter of taste.  On the DEC Ultrix machines we have here
on campus, the arrow keys can be used for tn3270 as well.  I was really used
to it and then came the NeXT.  Now either is fine with me.

To change the mappings, just take a look at /etc/map3270.  That is where all
of the key mappings are kept.

Do not underestimate the value of print statements for debugging.
Don't have aesthetic convulsions when using them, either.
