Wow ! Now the arrow-keys move cursor, 4 directions = normal !
Quiet strange to control (normally considered low level) keys mapping
from the high level.

The default key-mapping was like tying shoe laces while wearing 
boxing gloves and blindfold.  Especially considering the very 'gentle'
tutorials.    Of course in the 'designed for' enviroment:  multiple students
with a teacher; this problem is solved.

For dispersed individual users/colaborators it would be appropriate to
have the information to re-map the keys, soon after installation.

Perhaps soon I'll be able to setup to run ved as non-X ?
Apparently Andrew Sayers' patches are for X-window ?
