	Rhonda:

	Most likely the VMS system does not know what kind of terminal you 
	have (are emulating) on the Sun.  TELNET does not usually pass this
	information on startup.  A SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE might work (in your
	LOGIN.COM, but check with your system manager, it may already be in
	the system wide SYLOGIN.COM).  If this fails, you can 
	SET TERMINAL/DEVICE=VT200.  EDT has to know what kind of terminal
	you are using, or it will fall back to line mode on the assumption
	you may have a hardcopy type.
