I encountered the same problem on my Sun 3/60 running the FCS version
of XNEWS.  The arrow keys can be mapped using the "xmodmap" program.
For the keyboard on my Sun 3/60 (Tyoe 3).  Put the following in a file
and then execute the "xmodmap" program on it.

   keycode 76=Up F28 
   keycode 98=Left F30 
   keycode 100=Right F32 
   keycode 120=Down F34 

I just setup my Sparcstation 1 and have not had a chance to try the
XNEWS stuff on it yet, so I don't know if the arrow keys are mapped
for that server.  If you have problems, check out the man page on "xmodmap".
That's where I found all the info that I needed.  Also, you can use the
"xev" program to find out the "keycode value" for each key on the keyboard.

If you want to check out the current key mappings, use "xmodmap -pk".

I hope this helps.
