I would greatly appreciate some help getting my arrow keys to work
with EMACS 4.5 on an AT&T 3B20.  My terminal is an AT&T PC6300
(IBM-compatible) using an AT&T 4410 terminal emulator.  While this
may not yet be a common configuration, I believe the same problem
has come up using an hp2621 emulator or a real live vt100.

The problem is that, when I press an arrow key, it isn't
transmitted/read by emacs (one or the other) correctly.
The 4410 terminal description that I'm using defines up=M-[A
(it appears as ^[[A, with the initial ^[ as one character).
Pressting cntrl-Q up_arrow while in emacs shows me the same thing.
On the vt100 the same thing happens but the terminal file says up=M-A
(it appears as ^[A).  I've tried every other imaginable up= but get
the same results.  I've also been unsuccessful writing a macro that
understands what my keyboard is saying.

Any ideas on how I can get the arrow keys to do somethingt? 
Anything?  Thanks in advance.
