Hello, fellow net-creatures. I am having a problem with the gbII client (the
most recent version on xcf.berkeley.edu) - namely, it doesn't handle screen
control correctly. When I invoke gbII, it clears the screen correctly, but
then all output is mushed together on the line just above the status line,
each line over-writing the last (except for the command prompt, which
appears in its correct? position below the status line). 

The problem may have to do with my terminal type. I am using an old terminal
emulation program, which only supports types like adm3a, vt52, and tvi912.
But it is not a problem IN my terminal emulator - with any of the above
terminal types, and stty -tabs, stty 2400, stty rows 24, stty cols 80, all
the other screen movement programs, like jove, vi, nethack, tcsh, more, and
so on, work fine. (less warns that the terminal cannot scroll backwards and
cannot clear to end of line, but still functions correctly.)

For those who can interpret such things, here is the termcap entry for an
ADM3A:
la|adm3a|3a:am:bs:cm=\E=%+\040%+\040:cl=^Z:co#80:ho=^^:li#24:ma=j^Jk^P^K^Pl\040:nd=^L:up=^K:MP=^Z:MR=^Z:EG#1:BE=^G:BS=^U:CL=^V:CR=^B:RK=^L:UK=^K:LK=^H:DK=^J:HM=\036:  

I also tried getting around the whole problem by setting my terminal type to
dumb, but of course gbII said it didn't like not being able to position the
cursor.

Any hints would be appreciated.
