I am by no means an experienced emacs user (but I know what it is. :) Emacs style key bindings are VERY common, however. Cursor movement usually goes along the lines of CTRL-P for previous line, CTRL-N for next line, CTRL-B to move cursor backwards, and CTRL-F to move cursor forwards. Try CTRL-N and CTRL-P. :) This is how I use Bash on terminals with broken cursor key emulations, and without resorting to VI mode. (yuk :) -- Jessica Mayo.
