Not true.  I use Jove Version 4.9 (as I type this) , and my .joverc contains:

bind-to-key prefix-3 ^[[
bind-to-key execute-named-command ^[[A
bind-to-key apropos ^[[B
bind-to-key pop-mark ^[[C
bind-to-key next-window ^[[D
bind-to-key scroll-left ^[[E
bind-to-key scroll-right ^[[F
 .
 .
 .
etc

and that works fine (on a "ansi" Tektronix 4105).
