This looks like a problem with Exceed, I seem to remember similar a long time 
ago, up-arrow gets sent as ESC [ A, and the Exceed rlogin might not be 
passing the ESC through correctly.

Can you try logging in with rlogin, and starting an xterm on the Linux box, 
displayed on you 'doze machine and see if that works?  I have vague 
recollection due to such problems, I set up Exceed to actually start up X 
client application automatically  rather than use it's rlogin terminal 
emulator.
