I was always perplexed as to why the VT100 program's arrow keys (at least
to me), did not work properly when using 'vi' on our vax.  I noted that in
the module 'window.c' around line 300-340 that a variable 'keyapp' was
used to select an appropriate action.  This was true with the arrow keys
also.  I was not quite sure what function 'keyapp' played with the arrow
keys but took the liberty to 'rem' out the following code.


	case 0x4f: sendchar(27);
	     /* if (keyapp) sendchar('O');
	     else */ send(']');
	     sendchar(code - 11);
	     break;

This did the trick and the arrow keys now work well with a 'vt100' termcap
on the vax and also with 'vi'.

Can someone enlighten me if this is really a fix or did I buger something
else up.
