I'm teaching myself EMACS using a DEC VT320 terminal.
Certain keys don't work:
C-s   This sets my terminal to "HOLD SCREEN"
C-p   I have to do C-p twice to go up 1 line.

Can I make the arrow keys perform like C-f, C-b, C-n, and C-p?
I tried setting my terminal to VT100 via SET-UP.
I tried "stty stop '^[' start '^]' -- this does not change C-s and
C-q, even though "stty everything" says that it did!
