I've been using Procomm Plus lately and noticing that working in the 'vi'
editor is really screwed up.  Anything involving cursor movement more
than one character seems to leave the cursor in the wrong place forcing
you to do a ^L to re-draw the screen.  It might have something to do with
tabs but 'stty -tabs' doesn't seem to cure it.  I'm using VT102 emulation
in Procomm Pluys ver 1.1B and 'tset vt102' under SunOS Release 4.1.1.

This used to work fine with Procomm 2.4.2 using the VT100 emulation and
'tset vt100'.

I seem to recall lots of discussion about this problem back when Procomm
Plus first came out, so sorry if this is a FAQ, but hopefully someone can
send me some info about this problem.  Thanks.

PS.  Please mail me a copy of anything you post in response to this as
I'll likely miss it in the news due to short expiration time at this site.
