	When trying to use the arrow keys in proterm under vt100
emulation, hold down the option key while pressing the arrow keys.
This tells it to send the other key sequence. There might be an
option to toggle this in the preferences, but I'm not sure.
	What program are you running on the unix system? I'm using
the pico editor through proterm with vt100, and the arrow keys work
fine for me. You may also want to look into the setenv command on
your unix system, and set some parameters.
