oh! i misunderstood... sorry 'bout that...

you should find out what character sequence syncterm sends for those keys
and see if you can map that into mTCP telnet's keys... some terminals allow
you to adjust the character sequences sent for the keys transmitted for the
terminal type chosen... i'm guessing you are using the same terminal type
(eg: vt100, ansi, ansi-bbs, etc) in both terminals? aside from that, i
don't know anything about mTCP to be able to point you further...
