Interestingly, this is the termcap that I have been using from a 130XE to a
Gould UNIX like computer/software and it works fine.  However, when trying to
use the same termcap to our VAX 780, I get something similar to that described.
I loose my cursor to the lower right hand corner when in any form of vi editing
and I do not get a clear screen when reading news.  At one point, however, this
termcap did work on the 780 or on a 750, I am not sure which.  My conclusion is
that some form of VAX software upgrade screwed this termcap up, hence the
reason it still works on the Gould.  I also, would be interested if someone has
a fix on the problem.  As I say, I think that the problem only shows up on some
forms of UNIX.
