Now that you know you cannot capture Right/Left arrow keys using 
@key___, there might be a work around if you were to elaborate on how 
were you intending to use this.

As previously posted, you could use waitkey or inkey to control/monitor 
key strokes while at "Enter Selection > _".  Of course, you will need to 
write the code needed to keep flow totally transparent and account for 
all options available to your end-users.

That being said, try playing with @entsel + waitkey ... you just might 
get what you are looking for.

Good luck!
