Some said >something about the termcap I am using. The problem did have to do with the termcap, however, there was also another catch to it. First to stop the"window shade scrolling" delete the insert line (al) and (dl) entries from the termcap and save the file. However, this only resulted in GnuEmacs saying the termcap was not powerful enough because it couldn't position the cursor. What I didn't know was that the ST saved files in most editors with a CR and LF and that GnuEmacs wanted the termcap saved with only LF ( 0x0d ), the extra CR ( 0x0a ) was confusing the termcap reader in the editor. To solve this problem, I created a filter in 'C' that will remove the LF's from the termcap file. Its been working fine since.
