What?!  "Arrow keys" in vi?!  That's heresy!!!

Actually, the problem is in the keymapping done for the Amiga console
device(s).  Check the /usr/amiga/lib/kmap directory for other (provided)
keymaps.  They can be changed with:

  $ sioc setkmap <fname>
     or
  $ sioc setdefkmap <fname>

You really shouldn't be using the arrow keys, ya' know?  Most implementations
of vi don't set the mappings properly for using the arrow keys in INPUT mode
(not vi's fault -- I'm not sure they _can_ be set properly).

I'm using /usr/amiga/lib/kmap/usa0 for the program I'm porting which
prefers vt100-compatible.
