I'm not familiar with "Montgomery's Emacs", but I use GNU emacs all the time with winqvt. This sounds like a termcap problem to me. I've run winqvt through several vt100 "torture tests" and it's passed all of them. As far as terminal taking up the whole screen... has anybody tried different sized fonts? I'm running with 11pt vtascii and the window takes up about 2/3'rds of the screen. 12pt terminal also works well in about the same screen real estate. My question about winqvt is how do you redefine the keyboard? Using GNU emacs, I want the PC's "del" key to send a "delete". Currently, I have to use the backspace key to do this. Which means that I have to use a "^h" to get backspace. Urrr... This is with the IBM setting for character and edit key settings.
