Following is a configuration of my system

version of emacs:	18.57.13



Sun sparcstation 330
Sony color monitor

environment:
TERM=sun
term=sun

There are two problems:

1. We are getting a ghosting of characters that can best be described
   by an example, see below. If there is only one word, ie 12345, then
   it will not always happen. If two words are present, ie 12345 789,
   then it always happens.

12345

then after putting the cursor under the 1 and pressing space:

112345

the same effect is observed with tab, but you would have for the second line

1234512345

where the first 12345 was not erased.

if two words:

12345 789
112345 789

12345 789
1234512345 789




2.   Also, we are having a heck of a time defining properly the keyboard.
     The C- and ESC- work fine and the PG-UP etc.. screen control is
     fine until X windows is entered. Then all PG-UP etc is lost
     except for cursors. The correct CTRL-key combinations for screen
     control still work but the keyboard binding for the Sun specific 
     keys, with the exception of the cursor keys, seems to be lost.

	Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. After using emacs
at another site, we fell in love and would like to implement emacs
locally. 

	We have tried to copy the sun terminal definitions supllied with
emacs over top of the termcap entry supplied by Sun. No effect.


Thanks for your time.
