viper error keys do not work on tty

[Max Mikhanosha]

In viper command and insert mode arrow keys do not work. Instead
the raw terminal key sequence Esc O A or Esc O B gets interpreted
by viper, and inserts a new line and A or B character.

If I copy viper*.el files from the Emacs 21.3 distrubution to the
load path, they load fine after minor editing regarding 
(eval-after-load "mule-cmd") and arrow keys work fine then.

Also the problem happens both under screen and xterm.

I had tested this with the following .emacs and .viper file

--- .emacs ---
(setq viper-mode t)
(require 'viper)
--- .viper ---
(setq viper-inhibit-startup-message  't)
(setq viper-expert-level 5)
