Now that I can use telnet why can't I cycle through entered commands like
under normal Linux sessions,  security feature perhaps.

I'm guessing youre using windows telnet perhaps?  Try putty:

Also some combinations of terminal emulator and terminal type
don't map the cursor keys, so it is back to "esc" followed by
h,j,k or l (for left, down, up, and right). Although I see that
more with Unixes proper.

The old Windows telnet was naff, incorrectly passing the buffer
size as screen size, and other failings, I could never decide if
it was deliberate, or incompetence, Hyperterminal is better but
then it still carries the name of the software company that
wrote it.

I use Putty, although sometimes in a Cygwin windows I forget and
still run "ssh". Anyone deciphered what keyboard settings are in
effect with Cygwin, and Openssh, as "|" doesn't map onto the
required pipe character although it looks okay in Cygwin.
