I have anold Perkin-Elmer 550 that I recently dusted off, intending
to replacce an ailing VT101 I currently use.  Although there is an
entry for it in my termcap file, it is not without it's problems;
so does anyone out there have such a termcap entry that works
properly?

And on a related note, can termcap entry, in general, deal with terminals such
as the PE550 that do not perform a newline operation when the right
margin is exceed?  It is mightily unreadable when those characters
stack up at the edge of the screen.

Thanks!
