My arrow keys are giving garbage characters when i telnet from a MS Windows Workstation. Could somebody tell me how to bind the the UP and DOWN arrow keys in such a way that I could use history.
I am using solaris 2.7 FYI.
You need to check that $TERM is set to match your terminal emulation.
For instace if you have vt100 emulation than in ksh type
export TERM=vt100.
If you can not get the arrow keys working try to use the vi keys to navigate, j & k for up & down etc... assuming you have vi set as your editor (ksh -o vi or set -o vi).
