Okay, I seem to have found a work around, but how can I fix it properly? When I telnet into Debian w/CRT and I type: set | grep TERM, i get: TERM=linux.
If I do: export TERM=vt100, emacs and dselect work fine. Without doing this, emacs and dselect get garbled after using them for a bit and don't display things in the correct places. How can I get it to work properly automatically? I've never had this problem with other distributions. I thought this might be a problem with /etc/termcap, but it doesn't exist on my Debian box. After that I was a little confused, but there must be something I don't know =) Brendon
