This is still not fixed in Texinfo 3.6, and I've just had another user report this as a bug in the Debian package. Is there likely to be any progress soon ? When you reply, please preserve the Subject line and send copies to debian-bugs, Emilio Lopes and Michael Deisher, as I have done. Thanks. Ian Jackson.

Lopes), debian-bugs@pixar.com Subject: Re: Bug#889: `info' in texinfo 3.1 doesn't understand arrow keys The standalone info browser in texinfo 3.1 contains code (in terminal.c) to try to find out what the termcap database claims that arrow keys generate. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to use anywhere the variables where it stores the answers ! Observed symptoms are that the arrow keys beep and generally do odd things, rather than working as expected. (I'm using an xterm.)
