The big trick to getting the arrow keys working is mapping the escape
sequence to something reasonable. This technique can also be used
to map the keypad to all sorts of things (so that you can even
make a half-hearted attempt to fake EDT if you want to). Once you have
mapped the escape sequences to something reasonable, you can then set
default bindings in ebind.h, or by setting up a .emacsrc file.
For example, I have bound the vt100 arrow keys to FNA, FNB, FNC and FND.
This binding is performed in tinfo.c (our terminal interface file).
You will probably have to hack up vmsvt.c.

Of course, mapping the cursor keys opens up a new can of worms for dealing
with <esc> all by itself. Curses looks after it on our SYSV machines.
You may have to be inventive with QIO calls.

In general, you will probably find hacking uemacs quite easy to do. Many
thanks to Daniel Lawrence and Dave Conroy for such a neat editor.
