VIM quick fix (for arrow keys in insert mode)

When using VIM in insert mode, when I try and move around with the arrow keys, it inserts A, B, C and D instead. Not completely sure why, but typing:

:set nocompatible

seems to fix the problem. You can make this permanent by sticking

set nocompatible

in .vimrc in your home directory. Anyone know why?!
