Arrow keys when using ssh to connect remotely to solaris box


Hello, I'm using ssh inside an rxvt terminal (?) to connect remotely to a 
Sun server running Solaris. It connects without any problems and I can login 
to the Oracle database the server is running. However, the arrow keys 
doesn't work correctly. When I hit left-arrow to edit what I am typing in 
sqlplus (oracles command line client) the input cursor position doesn't move 
instead ^[[D is displayed. Neither of the arrows keys work. I guess the 
problem is that the remote shell is expecting keys in one format and I am 
sending it in another, slightly different format, so it doesn't work for 
some keys. This has made working remotely with the oracle database a chore 
at best and I was wondering how I can remedy the situation?
