>Actually, I get much the same problem...it isn't (as far as I can tell) a VT-100 emulation problem at your end as it is at the UNIX end...Whenever I connect to U of Waterloo (the U I attend), I get the same thing when I'm in OS/2, when I used to use Windows 3.1...everywhere except when I used DOS (probably my term program compensated for it at that point because the programmers were aware of the error ie. Telix)
I used to have the same problem using Procomm Plus in DOS, then under OS/2,
until a friend messed around with the settings. He changed the backspace
translation to non-destructive, and it cured the problem. TE/2 has an
entry in the TE2.ini file to change that too. If you are using the default
TE2.INI file, go to line 63 (in my file, anyway) which says:
;VT100Backspace FALSE ; Set true if you need a destructive backspace
Remove the ";" (this will un-comment the line). That should do it. Worked for
