I assume I am not the only one having this problem. When I use RR10.3 to access a VAX running 4.3 BSD UNIX, the VT100 emulation works fine EXCEPT whenediting with gnuemacs. Then the cursor on the screen and the cursor in the buffer end up diverging horizontally. I suspect the problem is with tabs. But I tried using STTY to turn off the tabs with no effect. I tried the vt100-np TERMCAP entry instead of the vt100 entry (I.e., I tried no padding), but that had no impact. I tried hacking the vt100-np TERMCAP entry to remove all references to tabs. That got rid of the horizontal divergence problem but introduced a vertical diveregence problem (i.e., wrong line instead of wrong character). Any of you wizards out there got a suitable TERMCAP entry up your sleeve? John

Although I haven't verified it with gnumacs, I had this problem until I went to the vt100-am and did a "stty -tabs" on login. Since then, no problem. chuq Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Delphi: CHUQ What do you mean 'You don't really want to hurt her?' I'm a Super-Villain! That's my Schtick!
