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...
