[comp.mail.elm] builtin pager & Procomm /VT-100

Something keeps turning the Line Wrap option in my Procomm vt100
emulation back on. The result is that elm paints the screen properly,
then rolls the first line off the top while showing the prompt on the
bottom line. It also screws things up in vi when a line is too long.

I can reset the Line Wrap option, but it changes again. I've been
thinking it was a Procomm bug, but the other night I switched to using
less -C as a pager. The problem SEEMED to go away. Alas, I've been
spoiled by the builtin+ pager's passing of commands back to elm.

Is there any way that the builtin pager could be sending the vt-100
control code to turn on line wrap? Someday I'll get a different comm
program and see if it too is affected, but in the meantime....
