   When I travel, I use a laptop computer instead of my Sun workstation. To keep
   in touch with the world, I connect to my main computer using Procomm,
   typically in VT100 mode. However, when using gnu Emacs, I have problems.
   Specifically, (a) When I have two windows on the screen, sometimes the first
   word of the second window appears on the status line of the first window, and
   (b) Sometimes when I delete things, lines don't move up, (c) sometimes the
   screen gets screwed up and I have to redraw (I can't as of yet figure the
   exact circumstances). I think (a) is related to the am flag in termcap. I
   don't know about the others. Suggestions?

You might look for the "destructive delete" option and turn it off.  I
had that trouble once before as well, though with Telix and not
Procomm, and making it a non-destructive backspace helped a lot...
