It sounds to me like you have a mismatch between the VMS and Kermit
terminal types. I can assure you that the VT102 emulation works (dare I
say) perfectly.
Type SHOW TERM at the VMS prompt and see what it says about your terminal
type. Compare that with the type shown in Kermit's status line. Are they
the same? (Unless you have gone out of your way to defeat the normal VMS
login mechanism, they should be!)
In any case, it does not sound to me as if you are using the normal VMS
shell, which does *not* keep its prompt at the bottom of the screen. If
you are running some kind of DCL "front end" that does its own escape
sequences, you'd better be pretty sure that it does them correctly.
Check these things, and if you still can't figure out what is wrong, send
a session log by email to kermit@columbia.edu.
