i've got two systems on which i'm playing with ncftp.  one, a 1.3.3
system, where i built it myself and it presents like this:

> ncftp -H
Version:       2.4.3 (March 19, 1998)
Author:        Mike Gleason (mgleason@NcFTP.com)
Archived in:   ftp://ftp.NcFTP.com/ncftp/
Compile Date:  Mar  8 1999

Compile options:

USE_CURSES=2  __GNUC__=2  HAVE_LIBNCURSES  HAVE_LIBREADLINE  HAVE_UNISTD_H  
LIBMALLOC  LOCK_METHOD=2  NCURSES_VERSION="4.2"  _POSIX_VERSION=199009  
POSIX_SIGNALS  __STDC__  
UNAME="NetBSD noc 1.3.3 NetBSD 1.3.3 (LINGAM) #0: Sat Mar  6 23:57:16 EST 1999     root@:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/LINGAM i386"  

and the -current system, where i built it from pkgsrc and it got built
like this:

> ./work/ncftp-2.4.3/ncftp -H
Version:       2.4.3 (March 19, 1998)
Author:        Mike Gleason (mgleason@NcFTP.com)

Compile Date:  Nov 29 2000

Compile options:

USE_CURSES  __GNUC__=2  HAVE_LIBCURSES  HAVE_UNISTD_H  LIBMALLOC  
LOCK_METHOD=2  _POSIX_VERSION=199009  POSIX_SIGNALS  __STDC__  
UNAME="NetBSD this 1.5K NetBSD 1.5K (THAT) #22: Sun Nov 26 01:47:48 GMT 2000     andrew@this:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/THAT i386"  

the main difference as i see it, is that "line mode", the cursor keys
work on my old machine, but not on my new machine.  the cursor keys
work in visual mode on both.

is there any way, short of building it myself, to get the desired
behavior?
