GRUB and arrow keys

OK, not really related to coding but I thought it would be useful to put this out there in case anyone runs into the same issue. I'm trying to use a remote VMWare console for a linux VM I'm running at work and for some reason the arrow keys won't work. That means that I can't move up and down to select the recovery boot. I finally figured out, after much trial and error, that you can use Ctrl-P for "up" and Ctrl-N for "down". Good luck!
