I'm having problems with VT100 not sending the cursor key sequences
properly.  I'm not sure what the problem is, but our Series/1 gets
upset when I hit those keys.  It's claiming that it doesn't recognize
the sequence sent.  Anyone else experiencing this?

I looked through the code to translate key sequences (as an aside,
I was amazed that it does this itself...isn't there an EXEC facility
for key mapping?) but I'm not sure I understand what the code is doing.
The code for cursor keys seems to depend on whether the keypad is in
application mode or not.  The series/1 does use application keypad
mode.  But I didn't think that the cursor keys sent anything different
in that mode.  Anyone have a real VT100 (or even a manual?)
