- I posted about the same problem on comp.os.os2.apps.
- Fernando Gouvea was kind enough to respond with the following.

- The current release of TE/2 no longer has this problem. I was one of those
- who reported it to Brady Flowers, and he had it fixed within a week. (It's
- a matter of vt100 using tabs to position the cursor.) The problem will go
- away, even with the old version, if you do 'stty -tabs' before using your
- editor.
