VT100 emulation

[gravishanker at eagle.wesleyan.edu]

Hi

I have a Personal IRIS running IRIX 3.2. I wish to open a window to a Vax
running VMS. I do the following:

	1. Issue wsh -m 24x80.

	2. In the newly created window, I issue set term=vt100.

	3. I telnet to the Vax. First of all, set term/inq fails to get proper 
response from my IRIS, so my terminal type is unknown.

	4. I set it to VT100 by set term/dev=vt100 on my Vax.

Then I want to edit a file using TPU. The first screen comes up fine. But once
you want to move down a page, the status line at the bottom vanishes and I
begin to see text on all 24 lines. A ctrl-w to clear the screen brings the
status line back and everything looks normal. Obviously I don't want to do a
CTRL-w to refresh the screen everytime I scroll to the next page.

I would appreciate any help in clearing up this problem. Thanks.
