We are also running the Yale package.  vt100 works fine.  Actually, I believe
Dave's code is correct.  If you look in the VT100 reference manual, you will
see that the cursor keys (up, for example) send <esc>[A when keypad is reset,
and <esc>OA when keypad is set.  This seems to be exactly what Dave's code
does.  If you would like, you can dial 609-452-6934.  This will connect you
to our broadband cable.  From there you enter "full" for the yale full-screen
package.  Of course, you can't log in, but you can verify that the cursor
control keys do work.
