Subject: Arrow keys

I have a user in Australia, coming into my system via Infonet's packet
switch network.  He usually connects via a direct call from in town.

He reports that the arrow keys no longer work.  His PC comms software
(ProComm) is set to VT100 emulation, and so is his account.

Any ideas what could cause this?  Any work-arounds?

BTW, I typically use Pine via ProComm from Windows with vt100 emulation.

Also, he reports an error message: "RDF DENIED", and then his connection
froze.  Is this a Pine error message?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello,
  If the arrow keys don't work you can always use ^F, ^B, ^N, ^P (emacs 
cursor motion keys) in place of ->, <-, \/,  and ^. Pine accepts the
arrow key escape sequences for most of the common terminals including at 
least two generated by vtxxx terminals.  It also doesn't depend on any 
configuration like termcap, so the problem is probably on his end or the 
network connection.  The RDF DENIED is not a Pine error message.
