Hi Michael.

Thanks for your reply.

When connecting to the RedHat machine from the mobile terminal 'stty -a' 
shows:

rows 0; columns 0;

The SLES8 machine shows:

rows 24; columns 80


Obviously BOTH of these are wrong for the terminal, yet the Oracle Forms 
application shows the bottom status bar in the correct place with RedHat, 
yet with SLES8 the terminal screen needs to be scrolled down to see it.

BOTH servers show the correct rows and columns when connecting with putty 
from windows or a standard xterm. (The values also correctly change if the 
term is resized)

The terminal used on the mobile devices is "Naurtech cevt220-windows
CE Host Access version 5.1.1"

Any ideas?

Regards
