The arrow keys in a vt100 or equivalent terminal send "escape sequences"
which are composed of the characters <esc>[OA, <esc>[OB, <esc>[OC,
<esc>[OD, depending on which arrow. The <esc> key is a non-display
character (or control character.)
So your terminal / telnet is sending the escape sequences but the Lynx is
not understanding them as a "character group" to be interpreted as an
arrow key. The problem is either telling CCN (at login) to use a
different terminal type from the type you are sending as {there's bad
English} or else you are using a terminal type for which CCN does not have
a complete emulation (terminfo/termcap) entry.=20
Verify that the terminal type you are using matches the equivalent to what
you are sending as. If they are different, use the correct value next
login, and see if you still have a problem.
If they agree, then you have found a terminal type that is not properly
supported, or else the emulation on your end is broken. Report the
terminal type you used, and the program that you use to connect, and we
will try to verify it too! The userhelp team and helpdesk have a lot of
experience with this :-)
