Hi Denys/Jimux,

I am using "Tera Term"

The UP arrow key result:
# hexdump -vC
¶A00000000  1b b6 41                                          |..A|
00000003


The DOWN arrow key result:
# hexdump -vC
¶B00000000  1b b6 42                                          |..B|
00000003



The shell i am using:
# env | grep -i shell
SHELL=/bin/sh

# cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile

export PATH=\
/bin:\
/sbin:\
/usr/bin:\
/usr/sbin:\
/usr/bin/X11:\
/usr/local/bin

umask 022

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    source ~/.bashrc
fi
#




Regards,
Raghavan K.
