I found that Xenix (2.3.1) responds to the DEC "private" escape sequences ESC [ ? 7 h turn wraparound on ESC [ ? 7 l turn wraparound off I.e., if you send or type ESC [ ? 7 l the screen no longer wraps to the next line when you get to the right hand side of the screen (the cursor sticks there until you carriage return). This only affects the current multiscreen, other screens remain in the mode they were in. ESC [ ? 7 h puts you back into wraparound mode. (I happened on this quite by accident. I think I had telnet'd to a VAX and told it I was a VT100 and at some point it sent the wrap off sequence.) This is not documented in screen(HW). It is documented in my old DEC VT100 manual. It's no big deal, it was just rather confusing for a couple of days.
