This may be happening because the laptop is generating
non-standard internal codes for the arrow keys.

Go ahead and do that. When you get to the logging
screen, enter the SHOW command, and note the
parameters for each arrow key.

Here's what my PC sees with the arrow keys.
Code Page 437 - ASCII 0  - Length 2 in all cases

Arrow    Scan Code
   Up       72
  Down      80
  Right     77
  Left      75


Send me the details directly, not to the list.
