hi,
I posted the same article on comp.sys.ibm.pc but  got no response.
Please help  because you folks are my best hope!
I'm using  Procomm and make it emulate vt220.  While doing  EMACS, I
want to go back one character using the CTRL-b key. The problem is: the 
cursor goes back, but also  wipes the display of the character off the
screen-the character is not deleted, though.  is there any way I can go
back one character and still display it as it is?         thanks,
