This encapsulating terminal is a recent (past year)= build of xterm using I believe the xterm256 or whatever its named TERM, in= which I then launched your script using my local copy of vax780. Tried ju= st now in Linux fbcon with a TERM of "linux" and likewise the vi session st= ill seems to size to 80x24 appropriately and doesn't have any cursor positi= oning issues. Note in both cases the TERM variable I describe is the *host= * terminal, TERM in the emulated session is vt100. - Matt G.
