You can recover these keys using xmodmap.  The syntax goes something like:

xmodmap -e "keysym <keysym_number> = Up"
xmodmap -e "keysym <keysym_number> = Down"

Unfortunately, I can't remember the keysyms for the Up and Down arrow keys.
You can find them out by running xev, which you may have to build from
source (look in ftp.x.org).

You can combine the statements in quotes into a .xmodmaprc file, and have
xmodmap execute it automatically if you want.

You definitely get this with twm, and the version of olvwm I built from
source does the same thing.  I don't recall ever getting it with fvwm,
though, so you might try that.  Get it from the Amiga archives at
ftp.uni-regensburg.de.

Wait till you discover the problem with the "a" key...
