You didn't elaborate on what the result of the keys is. I'm assuming you
see no characters on your screen- as opposed to seeing strange control
chars when you press the arrow keys.

> i use win 3.1

I'm also assuming that you're using Terminal, which comes packaged with
win311.  In the Settings menu, there is a choice named "Terminal
Preferences".  Select this. In the ensuing dialog, there is an option
termed "use control, arrow, and function keys for windows". UNcheck this
option and try using them in Pine.

You might want to point this out to your local help desk if it solves your
problem. They could use the info.

Good luck,
