Apologies for following-up my own message, but I found the way to pass
arrow keys on command line (searched thru code and found it in
src/base/keyboard/prestroke.c) the documentation seems to be a bit old
(hopefully I'll try to update soon...)
It is done by send \M8 (for down arrow) etc...

I still have the problem with one of the dos program ignoring only the ESC
character.

cheers
