I had a number of problems with the terminal program that comes
with Windows.  The first problem is that the documentation sucks!
No where does it really tell you how the keys are translated.  Yes,
there is a chart in the appendix.  But, it doesn't tell what some
very special keys do, like the scroll lock key.  The arrow and
function keys perform differently when the scroll lock is on and
off.  Try using the scroll lock when the keys don't do what you
think they should.

Good Luck!
