It's the same xterm. Maybe you've not selected it to use the VT220 
keyboard then?
Ctrl+Left mouse, and select the correct type of keyboard. Also, check if 
you have 8-bit control enabled, and if the editor in that case can 
understand 8-bit control sequences.

As a way of maybe figuring out what you have selected: telnet to 
mim.update.uu.se, login with user guest, password guest. Once you've 
logged in, type "RUN $TECKEN", and then press keys and see what the 
results are.
