Hi!
	I also had the same problem.  If I knew what telecom program you 
use it would be easier.  Let me tell you about my situation.  I use Zlink 
and had the same problem when using Pine and Lynx, etc....  Fortuantely, 
for Pine and Tin, you can use keyboard keys to move around the screen in 
place of the arrow keys.  So that takes care of one set of problems.  Now 
for the WWW, that's a bigger problem.  I also had it when trying to use 
Lynx.  I tried to find substitutes like in Pine and Tin, but to no 
avail.  But after reading the Zlink manual, I found out that it offer 
something called VT-220 emulation.  I loaded it up and used it in Lynx 
and it works fine.  The ony problem I can see, is that it disables some 
of the control key combinations, for example CTRL-K deletes a line in 
Pine, but it instead moves the cursor up one line when VT-220 is 
enabled.  If you can, just download ZLink and use it for WWW.  What I do 
is just set up a basic config file as suggested by Zlink and have it 
autoload on startup (like 8 bit, 2400 bps, no parity, etc.)  Then if 
afterwards, you need to go to the WWW, just load in the VT-220 config 
file, and you'll be on your way.  I suggest Zlink over anything else, at 
the moment.  Kermit is a big hassle, so get ZLink and be on your way.  

	And while we are at it, anyone know why VT-100 on Zlink doesn't 
support arrow keys?
