It may be that you need to run "infocmp at386 >at386.tic", edit the 
resulting at386.tic file to remove the "xt" flag, and then run "tic
at386.tic".  The xt or "teleray_glitch" flag is used to indicate to 
termcap/terminfo that it should compensate for some wierd behavior 
on the part of the Teleray 1061 terminal.  I can't see any reason why 
it flag was ever set in the at386 termcap and terminfo entries, but
it is... or was.  Some time ago, I found that this flag was causing 
GNU Emacs to scramble it's display on the 386 console.  I fixed my 
termcap file - that's easy - but it was thanks to this group that I 
learned how to fix it in terminfo.

regards, Larry
