Hi.


I am having trouble getting a vt100 emulation to work properly.
Characters on previous displays are hanging around, welcome
banners are not lining up etc.
When I scoped the line, it was apparent that UNIX was sending
strings of Esc-C codes which (according to a vt100 handbook I 
was able to scrounge) prompt the terminal to send back a reply
indicating what mode of vt100 it is (e.g., advanced video etc.).
(There are a total of 8 modes.)  The terminal is not honoring this
request for identification.

I have tried placing the reply in the initialization string
as well as a couple of other dodges without effect.
I have a number of excellent termcap/info references but have
not seen mention of this problem.


Can any wise person help me get to the root of this problem and/or
suggest what could be tried next?
