	I had a question for a computer wiz friend of mine but he actually
didn't know, so he suggested I post to here....

	Does anybody have any info about Kimtron KT-7's?  In specific I'd
like to know if they have their own terminal type.  They seem to emulate
Wyse-50's, although not exactly.  When I set my terminal type to wy50 when 
logging on with a Kimtron it usually works fine until I get into vi.  Then 
it starts inserting garbage characters at the beginning of each line, and 
also freezes up when I exit out of vi.  (It still transmits; just the display
stops.)  Also while in wy50, it refuses to recognize carriage returns that
aren't in the first 79 columns, i.e. it doesn't go to the next line if there
are 80 or more characters on a line.

	If someone could tell me the proper terminal type or can otherwise
help me with any of these problems I would be very grateful.  But please
email your answers, as I am not a regular reader of this group.
