I'm trying to have GNU Emacs 18.52 start up with the VT200 arrow keys
enabled, but I have had no luck.  I tried several approaches, none of 
which worked.  If it matters, I'm running VMS 5.0.
Here is a summary of my f(l)ailings:


1.  Tried:  Direct call within .emacs

          (enable-arrow-keys)

    Result: "error in init file"


2.  Tried:  Inclusion within term-setup-hook

          (if (not (memq 'enable-arrow-keys term-setup-hook))
             (setq term-setup-hook (cons 'enable-arrow-keys term-setup-hook)))

    Result: "invalid function name (enable-arrow-keys)"


3.  Tried:  Direct global-set-key within .emacs

          (global-set-key "\e[" CSI-map)

    Result: "error in init file"

       
4.  Tried:  Creating my own function (initially-enable-arrow-keys)
            which would global-set-key.  Then it was included
            into term-setup-hook as above

    Result: "invalid function name (initially-enable-arrow-keys)"

etc...

Straight from the documentation, term-setup-hook is:

"Function to be called after loading terminal-specific lisp code.
It is called with no arguments.  You can use this to override the
definitions made by the terminal-specific file."

OK, so I'm confused. :(  

If it is run AFTER the terminal-specific (vt200.el), why can't it run
enable-arrow-keys?  Or my own defined function?  Any comments or
solutions would be greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail response,
unless you think others are as stupid as me.

Thanks in advance.
