- I have had the same problem. Mine occurs after I use kermit and log on
- to another machine and have it set the terminal type to vt100. Kermit
- does this just fine but vt100 only has 24 lines and the local terminal
- information gets tweaked slightly. The console window will scroll properly
- using only 24 lines. The problem is when you exit elvis, you get put on
- the 25'th line and the scrolling goes to "&(*#%$@!".
- Rebooting "fixes" the problem but I've found another approach. If you
- load emacs with a file longer than 25 lines and ^n past the end of
- the file, when you exit emacs the terminal will behave properly.
- Why??? I don't know. Hope this helps.
