In the thread on the other forum I pointed out that remapping the cursor
keys to generate ESC sequences instead of passing through the {0, scan
code} value was going to break other DOS software.  So while adding the ESC
sequences to FreeCOM seems harmless, it also really only benefits people
who are willing to remap their cursor keys this way.  And this is the first
application I've heard of that insists on ESC sequences instead of using
the BIOS routines, so it's a limited market.

Shooting for platform independence is admirable.  Trying to force decades
old operating systems to match is probably a dead end.
