I've run into wrap around problems with the wsh terminal window when telnet-ed to VAX/VMS (probably would get this with other machines). When- ever a line of text is equal to the wsh window with (typically 80 chars), wsh puts in a <CR><LF> in preparation for window wraping. Can this be turned off? The problem is very bad when using a editor that writes in the 80th column; instead of seeing 22 lines, I see 11 with the other 11 scrolled off the screen. I've managed to use the VMS edt editor via the SGI keyboard's keypad, but the display isn't that close to VT100-ish. Maybe all of this could be solved by making SGI's wsh run in some VT100- ish mode. Most of the VT100 escape sequence seem to work. One work around is using the X-windows which are VT100 compatible, but I'd preferr to not have to run Xsgi and an xterm if wsh could emulate a VT100.

wsh emulates an ANSI terminal, not a vt100...Some see that as a virtue....There has been a long standing request to make a variation of wsh that had some of the obscurities of vt100's, including the funky wrap mode that vt100's do. Someday it might even be done... kipp hickman silicon graphic inc.
