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 smile

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 "^[".

   map ^[A k
   map ^[B j
   map ^[C l
   map ^[D h
