Problem with arrow keys in x-based applications on cygwin

[Paul McFerrin]

Have you tried using xmodmap  ???   Like:

    $ xmodmap K_Left=0xff51  K_Up=0xff52 K_Right=0xff53 K_Down=0xff54

or add the following to your .Xresources file in your $HOME directory:

    xlogin*login.translations: #override \
       <Key>Left: move-backward-character()\n\
        <Key>Right: move-forward-character()\n\
