Does anyone have any samples of how to activate the keyboard arrows in
the emacs editor ?

Here's what I have in my editor but it wasn't doesn't work:

(global-set-key [?\e ?#] 'next-line)
(global-set-key [?\e ?&] 'previous-line)
(global-set-key [?\e ?_] 'forward-char)
(global-set-key [?\e ?*] 'backward-char)

thanks in advance....

The keyboard arrows should work; you shouldn't have to rebind them.
What platform are you running Emacs on? Text terminal, or xterm, or X,
or what? The more specific you are, the more likely you will get help
quickly.
