I tried the /bin/vi and /usr/bin/vim that were part of my Fedora 14
installation in the GNOME Terminal and my own build of vim and gvim
in the Terminal and GUI, respectively. They are all some version of
Vim 7.3. The arrow keys, PgUp/PdDn and Home/End keys worked in all
cases. I even started all versions using -u NONE to eliminate the
effects of /etc/vimrc and ~/.vimrc.

So those keys work fine with 64-bit Fedora 14 and Vim 7.3. We just
need to find out why they're not working for you.

Regards,
Gary
