VB 2008: Sending arrow keys to serial ports

Question

I am writing a serial port communications app for configuring Cisco routers and switches. I have it pretty much finished, except for one thing. I cannot figure out how to send an arrow key through the serial port, as it does not generate an ASCII value.

The arrow keys are used to cycle through the previously entered commands.

Does anybody know how to send arrow keys over a serial port in VB 2008?
