My source must have been incorrect then. What is, or is there, the code for left and right arrow keys?

    According to others in this thread, it's 

    "\e", then "[", then "D"  ==eq==> "\x1B", "\x5B", "\x44"
"\e", then "[", then "C"  ==eq==> "\x1B", "\x5B", "\x45"

    (Each of the three values are returned by different calls to ReadKey.)

    Based on what you said you have, 

    "\e[D\n" ==eq==> "\x1B\x5B\x44\x0A"
"\e[C\n" ==eq==> "\x1B\x5B\x45\x0A"

    Update: Fixed first half.
