  No literal arrows.  But an old OS/2 game I enjoy, treats the numeric
keypads as...
{HOME} ==> move up and to the left
{PgUp} ==> move up and to the right
{END}  ==> move down and to the left
{PgDn} ==> move down and to the right

  I have tried {HOME}, {PgUp}, {END}, {PgDn} on the Thinkpad  but the
game did not respond.  If I attach a big clunky regular USB keyboard, it
works as expected.
