     Terminal arrow keys are supported in v18.  On startup, GNU
consults the environment for the terminal type.  It then looks in
the lisp library directories for the file "term/vt100.el", or the
.elc compiled version.

     This file defines several keymaps, which are used to map the
key functions.  The vt100 key sequences all start with ESC-[,
which is a legitimate emacs command.  For this reason, although
the arrow keymaps are defined, they are not activated.  To turn
them on, give the command

     M-x enable-arrow-keys
