[comp.sys.apollo] Pads in CBREAK mode under SR10.3

I am having a problem with ELM under sr10.3.  The problem seems that
changing a PAD into CBREAK mode does not alway work.  I am not getting
the lockup problems that others have reported, the behaviour that I get
is that the first couple of times you execute the program in a pad it
correctly invokes vtserver services and sets CBREAK mode, then it will
start invoking the vtserver services, but without CBREAK mode set.

Is there something special I have to do to make this work consistently?

I am told by others that this application fails similiarly, even if 
vt100 was started, and then the application is run, however, the program
works flawlessly in an xterm window.  I really hate to make DM users
run an xterm just to use this application.
