I am currently running  a  GNU utility called
screen v 3.02  on a HP9000/822s  with HPUX 8.02.  "screen" allows
me to have "multiple sessions" eventhough I am wried directly
to an HP serial port with a dumb vt100 terminal..etc...

My terminal is emulating vt100, as some software requires, and
works find under screen EXCEPT, screen doesn't allow standard
vt100 "escape" sequences through  to my terminal so I can
go into 132column mode, for display of reports etc.
a shellscript such as:

echo "[?3h[?4l[?7h\c"

SHOULD put my screen in 132col mode, which it does when I am not
running "screen", but nothing happens when these ESC codes are
echoed when I am running screen.

Is there something I can change within the "termcap" for screen
to allow me to go into 132col mode, if so where and what do I put in?
I am not a termcap wizard but am competant unix person nonetheless.  :-)
please, any advice and help is greatly appreciated.  I am stumpoed.
