ANSI arrows not working

[arfonzo]

Arrows not working when using ANSI terminal. It sends a "OA" for up, "OB" for down, rather than "[A", etc. For example, when connecting to an ANSI BBS, the full screen editor would send these keys and act strangely, rather than move the cursor.

I have tested the following changes, which seem to work for me:

The patch included does not work by itself--while it fixes the ANSI expected behavior (such as calling BBSes), the local shell's arrows do not work.

For example, using 'less filename', and up/down no longer shifts the view up/down a row.

A pair of tickets that are left since I was fond of Terminal improvements. I'm not sure I can finalize them in the nearest future.
