Hi, Chris,

      It sounds like you're on the trail of this nastiness. I can't help 
with a solution, but I think I know the conditions for triggering it. You 
need two things. First, a screen size larger than the old 24X80. Mine is 
240X75. The second is a program that doesn't know what to do with the 
arrow keys. Bash, Vim, Alpine, Mutt are all fine. Cat and ED are not. Why 
this is so is a mystery. A way around this is to ssh to localhost. I 
prefer localhost6, but that's just me.

           HTH.
