---+ [[Hp3000ArrowKeysVi][How to get arrow-keys to work in vi/etc on an HP3000]]

How can you get the #%@$# cursor keys to work? With TERM='hp2392a' they don't. vi is just too weird without 'em :-) 

Posix vi looks for an EXRC environment variable, which by default is "./.exrc". Put mappings like the ones shown below in that file to map your arrow keys to the proper vi key. Note -- use a real escape character where you see "^[". 

<pre>
   map ^[A k
   map ^[B j
   map ^[C l
   map ^[D h
</pre>
