i found the following instructions on the web:
"you can add the following lines to your .emacs file (create one if you
don't already have
one):
(if (not window-system) ;; Only use in tty-sessions.
(progn
(defvar arrow-keys-map (make-sparse-keymap) "Keymap for arrow keys")
(define-key esc-map "[" arrow-keys-map)
(define-key arrow-keys-map "A" 'previous-line)
(define-key arrow-keys-map "B" 'next-line)
(define-key arrow-keys-map "C" 'forward-char)
(define-key arrow-keys-map "D" 'backward-char)))
"
what ".emacs" file is that? in what directory should i create it?
is it simply ".emacs" ?
thanks
