Yes, obviously you can bind the history search to any key you like.

To do the same as above with rxvt:

   "\eOa": history-search-backward
   "\eOb": history-search-forward

Speaking of history, does anyone know why xterm and rxvt diverged so 
much on modifier keycodes and why the xterm codes ended up being six 
characters long?
