The problem did have to do with the termcap, however, there was also 
another catch to it.   First to stop the"window shade scrolling" delete
the insert line (al) and (dl) entries from the termcap and save the
file.  However, this only resulted in GnuEmacs saying the termcap was 
not powerful enough because it couldn't position the cursor.   What I
didn't know was that the ST saved files in most editors with a CR and LF
and that GnuEmacs wanted the termcap saved with only LF ( 0x0d ), the extra 
CR ( 0x0a ) was confusing the termcap reader in the editor.    

To solve this problem, I created a filter in 'C' that will remove the 
LF's from the termcap file.  Its been working fine since.
