We are using emacs-18.59 on hp9000/7xx, but I think this problem is
universal.  When you go into view mode, all keydefs are removed,
including x keys (like arrows!).

from view.el:

(defvar view-mode-map nil)
(if view-mode-map
    nil
  (setq view-mode-map (make-keymap))
  (fillarray view-mode-map 'View-undefined)

I think this is the source of the problem.  Has anyone got a fix?

Thanks.
