Does anyone have a fix for the Kermit H19 and VT102 emulation modes?
I've noticed that at least one curses function does not work correctly
with Kermit: box.  I am fairly sure of this because I switched to
the Mark of the Unicorn PC/InterComm VT100 emulator to make sure it
was not some PC flakiness causing the problem.  The curses functions
worked fine using the PC/InterComm emulator.

Given the following conditions:
	Ultrix 1.2 (sort of 4.2bsd) on a VAX 8650
	set term=vt100
	Kermit 2.29 on any kind of PC, AT, or clone
	CGA or EGA display
	C program using curses' box function

The symptoms are:
	Only the top and right edges are displayed
	move'd alphanumerics sometimes appear and sometimes don't
		after a refresh() call.

Thanks....todd
