 That looks fine to me - those keys generate a sequence of bytes, not a
 single value.  What did you expect to happen?

 Ah command history editing......
 That all depends on the program that is reading the keyboard.
 
 csh history editing doesn't use the cursor keys.
 The other shells (sh, ksh and bash) have both 'emacs' and 'vi' type
 history editing - but have their own implementations.
 
 I'm not sure what you expect some of those keys to do!
