call me lazy but I generally use csh as a shell and enjoy the use of arrow keys to navigate and scroll though recent commands... two items I am seeking solutions for: 1. when using FreeBSD's editor (ee I believe) it performs admirably when using the local keyboard, but spits out the ^[[A,B,C,and D characters when accessing it through Win2k's telnet window... is this an annoyance on fbsd's part or the W2k telnet application? Any work-arounds? 2. when using the sh shell, same result (control [[ characters displayed) can something be scripted into the shrc file to tell it to handle these keystokes accordingly (or ignore them and don't print out the stupid control characters). guidance and insight appreciated.
