This, at >least for me, no longer functions. Can anyone confirm this? Sorry :-) I can't confirm: I tried to do the steps listed above, and the result was correct WITH 'VI': but if you use emacs the 'bug' appear, but it's an emacs' bug; since emacs doesn't make use of the 'stty rows' feature it needs that someone create an environment variable LINES (LINES=30; export LINES). I think this will work. NOTE: I'm working with TCP/IP 1.2.1 and NO CSD applied. > Also I thought I'd try the above with vt220.exe and the same thing >happened, although I can't be sure if it ever worked before.

I also tried this, but everything worked fine; maybe this is a CSD problem or some setting in your window...
