Yes, I saw that but it doesn't seem to be the problem. > If you connect from, say, an xterm, you'll need TERM=xterm. I tried TERM=xterm and TERM=vt100 before I sent my initial mailing list post.

Not sure what the problem was, the emulator is a standard size and it doesn't work on cu or minicom and not with xterm or rxvt. Anyway resize fixes it on bothxterm and rxvt so I'm good. /jl -- ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) Powered by Lemote Fuloong against HTML e-mail X Loongson MIPS and OpenBSD and proprietary / \ http://www.mutt.org attachments / \ Code Blue or Go Home!
