Subject: behavior of cursor keys

Dear Pine Team,

one of our users complained that he cannot use the cursor keys
of his notebook inside pine.
For example, when he is composing a message with pico
cursor-left gives "t"
cursor-right gives "v"
cursor-up gives "x"
cursor-down gives "r"

However in other applications the cursor keys behave as they should.

Can you please help us with some hints?

Thanks

Can you figure out what escape sequences are generated by the cursor 
keys.  Pine uses a hard-coded keyboard mapping, so it is possible that 
your user's terminal emulation is generating sequences we have not seen 
before...
