alternate arrow keys (the ones not on the numeric keypad) don't work.
They work in text sessions, text windows, DOS box, but not in PM
proper.  It worked fine in 1.1.  I have a slightly non-standard keyboard,
a Northgate Omni Key/102.  Has anyone else had similar problems?  I
can't understand why it would have broken from 1.1 to 1.2, and then
only in part of the OS.  Unless the CSD fixes this, I might suggest
to anyone buying a Northgate machine that they get the standard 
IBM-style 101 keyboard, not the Northgate special one, although I love
the layout and feel of it.
