To Whom It May Concern:

A section of our /etc/termcap file looks like this:

#-----------------

when these commands are performed (c-shell):

	set term=vix19
	emacs

the arrow keys (ku, kd, kr, kl) do not work.  Checking the bindings with:

	M-x describe-bindings

shows that the arrow keys HAVE NOT BEEN MAPPED.

However, when these commands are performed (c-shell):

	set term=vt100-x19
	emacs

the arrow keys work fine.  They are bound correctly.

M-x emacs-version  reveals:
GNU Emacs 18.52.4 of Tue Aug 1 1989 on rags (berkeley-unix).

My only guess is that emacs is making some internal assumptions based on
seeing the characters 'vt100' as the term type.  Naughty emacs.
