It sounds like you've entered a program that doesn't allow the arrow keys to be used. Can you paste the output of the terminal here?

I'm pretty sure there's no fix for this in plain csh

It works in tcsh, though.

It's possible the terminal got confused, next time it happens just type 'reset' and see if that fixes it.
