I got Zterm 0.85 off of Sumex a few days ago and promptly used it
to call my local Unix system.  Version 0.80 worked fine with vi,
but 0.85 has problems.

SYMPTOMS:  When you move the cursor near the end of a line, it
tends to zap over to the edge of the screen and tries to go *past*
the end.

TENTATIVE DIAGNOSIS:  The new tabs in 0.85 are confusing vi a
little, so that tab stops are not where vi thinks they are.

Anybody got any solutions? (I've already turned off auto-linefeed.)
Until somebody does, I'm back to 0.80.

Please e-mail and I'll summarize.
