I don't know about MicroEMACS ver 3.9e but the emacs on the machines
here at Waterloo don't seem to like the cursor keys of any terminal.
I have tried using the vt52, vt100, vt200 series and wyse terminals.
My solution: when on a wyse terminal, define f17 - f20 to do the
cursor functions.
             when on my Atari, (VT200 via Uniterm) define f7 - f10 to do
the cursor functions.

If someone does know how to get emacs to recognize the cursor keys I'm
sure there are lots of us who would like to know about it.
