Hi. I am having trouble getting a vt100 emulation to work properly. Characters on previous displays are hanging around, welcome banners are not lining up etc. When I scoped the line, it was apparent that UNIX was sending strings of Esc-C codes which (according to a vt100 handbook I was able to scrounge) prompt the terminal to send back a reply indicating what mode of vt100 it is (e.g., advanced video etc.). (There are a total of 8 modes.) The terminal is not honoring this request for identification. I have tried placing the reply in the initialization string as well as a couple of other dodges without effect. I have a number of excellent termcap/info references but have not seen mention of this problem. Can any wise person help me get to the root of this problem and/or suggest what could be tried next?
