COB-SCN-KEY-UP NOT WORKING IN GNU 3.2 PROGRAM WIN10

I'm having trouble getting the cursor-up key to be recognized in my programs. I found a sample program that helped me to get the escape key to work using ENVIRONMENT variables (COB_SCREEN_ESC etc.), and the 78 level constant COB-SCR-ESC in the screenio copybook, but the COB-SCR-KEY-UP does not work. The sample program works for cursor-up, but only if you do the accept with a direct line/col reference in the command line. Anyone have an answer to this problem? The key-up key feels like it is not enabled, but since it worked in the sample program, it's probably not an enabled issue. I can recode the source for direct reference but I am hoping for a simpler solution if there is one (another environment variable?). Code is listed below for just one of many fields that do not work. I could not find anything useful on the web nor any potential environment variables. Thanks.

I gave up trying to find a simple way to solve the key-up issue and coded the display / accept with a direct line/col reference in the code. "WITH UPDATE" works well to retain the previous contents, otherwise, it will clear it every time on the accept statement.
DISPLAY WS-PLAYER-NAME-1 AT 0746.
ACCEPT WS-PLAYER-NAME-1 AT 0746 WITH UPDATE.
