I received requests for a summary of what I found out so here goes:

There are 3 basic solutions (all of which are commands put in your
.joverc file):

1. Upgrade to version 4.14 (I was told 4.9 really means 4.09) and use:

>       make-keymap vt100-map
>       bind-keymap-to-key vt100-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

2. Use this (not sure which version):

     	bind-to-key prefix-3 ^[[
     	bind-to-key next-line ^[[B
     	bind-to-key previous-line ^[[A
     	bind-to-key forward-character ^[[C
	bind-to-key backward-character ^[[D

3. Stay with version 4.9 and use:

	bind-to-key ansi-codes ^[[
	bind-to-key ansi-codes ^[O

I will use #3 since it doesn't require bothering the overworked/unpaid
OCF staff to install a new version.  It is also the simplest, but only
works with vt100/ANSI term types.  If you want to do assign keys on a
vt220 or a Sun or anything else that doesn't use the vt100 key codes, you
need a version past 4.9.  (To find out what version you have type M-X
version).

Thanks to those who sent these solutions to me:
