[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] NCSA telnet 2.2tn

I'm having a problem with NCSA Telnet 2.2TN on a PS/2-60 with 
Ungermann-Bass card.  Specifically, with linewrapping.  
Is there an option to force a linewrap?  I changed my prompt to
show me the current directory I'm in, and sometimes it gets quite
long, as you can imagine.  Any ways, when I type a command which runs
off to the right side, it does not wrap around to the next line.

(I also had similar problem in vi, where long lines disappear, only to be
shown when I put my cursor on that line.  This went away when I used
vt100 termcap entry, so I guess it may not be related to telnet2.2tn.)

Anybody have any idea?  Is this a known bug?  Do I need to play with
my termcap?  I've read the manual but there wasn't any mention of 
linewrap...

Your help will be appreciated.

The linewrap indication in termcap is "am" (for automatic margins).
