Hi!
     Hope you can solve my current problem.  I just got a beautiful MacIntosh
IIcx with a large RGB color monitor.  Also gave my VT100 terminals and
IBMs away at the same time.  The Mac is set up to connect to the main-frame
computing at USC, so I was hoping that was all I needed to operate such
as I did before.

     We were advised to buy Red Ryder to link so we could stretch the
screen so as to be able to use the entire screen.  Also nice was the
feature where you could increase the font size.  Well, everything was
fine until we began to use emacs once we log into our Unix(SUN) account.
Now we have strange things happen such as not being able to mark
and remove a block of text without losing 6 or 8 characters at the start.
It is almost as though the cursor is not where it says it is. Then, some
lines (the first three on the screen) are filled with text from the
previous screen and does not move away when you advance.  Basically,
you have to use Ctrl-L to redraw the screen much too often.

     Do you have any ideas?  Solutions?  I have an extended keyboard with
my setup.  Our log-in files have been set up defining the VT100 env.
Also, we log in through another network "tcptty" at USC which means using
a different path or network.  

     Is there software that you advise for the MacIntosh to have it emulate
a VT100 (specifically for Emacs)?  Also, do you know of a source for
Emacs to run on a MacIntosh?  That would also help.  Help!!!!!............
