Thus it was written in the epistle of Carl McNamee, > Recently my arrow keys quit working when I am in the posix shell running vi. > What could be wrong? I am using Reflections to access the system. Afraid I can't explain about the arrow keys, but there's a much easier solution :-). Use h (left), j (down), k (up), and l (right). They're already under your fingers.
