And most proper emacs (and clone) users don't use the arrow keys, but
use ^P, ^N, ^F and ^B. So this particular problem don't show. :-)
Jove is actually a pretty nice Emacs clone. I wonder if I should try to
port it to RSX...

IIRC the version of Jove that is on 2.11 was put on by
me back in the late 80s to replace an even earlier version and I used a VT220 at home as
opposed to xterm or whatever on a sim. As a result I was quite happy with using the
defaults for whatever was set up for the then available hardware as I used a real PDP with
real DEC terminals :-)

PS: It may have been updated since then I can't really recall.

Thanks Johnny, that was exactly the problem. jove sets the terminal
(or the emulator) into 'Application Cursor Key' and 'Application Keypad'
mode. Looking in xterm at the VT Options popup (with CONTROL-MB2) shows
this nicely. Binding the 'ansi-codes' function of Jove 4.9 (that's what
comes with 2.11BSD) to [O resolves the cursor issue.
What I still don't understand is why jove comes with defaults which
don't work. It puts the cursor and keypad keys into application mode,
which makes perfect sense especially for the keypad, and than looks
for [[ rather [O. Probably to make retrocomputing more fun :).
Thanks and with best regards, Walter

I get whenever I hit one of the cursor keys the message
[ESC O unbound]
...
Please note the difference between "<ESC>[" and
"<ESC>O"... :-)
To give you a little more help: someone or something is changing your
terminal to have application cursor keys.
(And to point out what should be obvious now: your cursor keys can
actually send two different kind of codes, depending on a setup parameter.)
