- I simply say stty rows 16 ; stty cols 40 to my unix box, with the TERM still
- remaining xterm or vt100. Works fine. Vi looks interesting, works fine,
- less is OK too, but more comfortable with -c.

- One problem is after a ESC-[-H sequence, usually when less starts painting
- the screen from the top, subsequent scrolls show phantom characters
- as the screen scrolls. This is another horrid bug to add to ed falk's list.
-
- SO when you quit from less, and hit a few carriage returns you see chars that
- had come on the screen long ago scroll up from the dead. A clear(1)
- (ESC-[H ESC-[J) fixes that. Evidently a vt100 and ANSI emulation bug.
-
- Wish also that they had the cursor keys behave like cursor keys in
- COMM too ... sending the ESC-[A etc. sequences, and ALT-cursor doing the
- scrolling. Very confusing since it is not consistent with the way the
- DOS screen ALT-arrow behaves. Also I miss the cursor keys.
-
- Hey ... and why not a cut and paste in COMM too ... !! I sorely
- miss that. (Of course, paste is missing in Phone as well Buddy fixes
- it, but cant write a CHAR-macro to use that fix).
