I would like to use my VT100 arrow keys in jove instead of the built-ins
(^N, ^P, ^F, ^B).  To do this, I tried putting the following in my .joverc
file:

	make-keymap vt102-map
	bind-keymap-to-key vt102-map ^[[
	bind-to-key next-line ^[[B
	bind-to-key previous-line ^[[A
	bind-to-key forward-character ^[[C
	bind-to-key backward-character ^[[D

I got this listing from Section 16.25 of the "JOVE Manual for UNIX Users"
(by Jonathon Payne, revised for 4.3BSD by Doug Kingston & Mark Seiden).

Here's the catch - This doesn't work on the version of JOVE installed here
on the OCF Machines (Version 4.9).  Sourcing the file gives an error of:
	["bind-keymap-to-key" unknown]

Trying to manually bind the keys (by typing M-X bind-to-key next-line ^[[B)
results in a binding to M-[, so that pushing any arrow key move down a line
and inserts A, B, C, or D (depeding on which arrow).

Is there any way to fix this? How? 

Please email alanc@ocf.berkeley.edu and I will post a summary if there is
interest.
