When UW came over the net (in source form earlier this year) I messed with it
and had problems getting a termcap which would work with VI. I finally did
some low level experimentation and determined that UW had a small bug in it.
Whenever UW receives a LF, it moves the cursor down AND TO THE LEFT COLUMN.
This isn't UW's fault, really, it is just passing the LF through to Amigados,
which is interpreting it as a newline.
I have a patch for it, but not handy. Some time in the next couple of days I'll
try to reproduce what I did and put it on the net, including a new binary with
my fix.
Once this change is made, UW works fine with a standard VT100 termcap, if you
adjust the width and height values correctly.

I don't think BBN cares what I think about this stuff.

Console windows have the following escape sequences: SETMODE: CSI20h (9B 32 30 68) LF = CR LF RESETMODE: CSI20l (9B 32 30 6C) LF = LF CSI = 0x9B or ESC open-bracket (^[[) can be used. Thus, simply send the proper sequence to the console device . -Matt
