I have seen that e.g. the editor uses 7bit Escape sequences (e.g. 0x19+"[" for CSI), while the test program sends 8bit sequences (e.g. 0x9b for CSI). This seems to be hardcoded somewhere, so I cannot change it. This leaves me some options:

CTRL-Y works in rxvt, but there I don`t know how to set keymappings, and how to make it interpret 8bit control sequences.

Have you tried

$ SET TERMINAL/NOEIGHT

on the VAX. That should stop it sending 9-bit escape sequences.
