        Dear Netlanders:

        Has anyone out there in Netland seen the following problem under
ULTRIX 3.1 running DECWindows?  It seems like when you use your DECterm window
under ULTRIX 3.1 as a VT300+ type terminal to DLOGIN into a VMS machine and
use EDIT/TPU there, that EDIT/TPU and the terminal window are not communicating
correctly.  Also, the PF keys seem to not behave right.  Has anyone else seen
this behavior from there machines?  Any fixes known?  Some of our users use
both ULTRIX and VMS and want the full VT300+ functionality.  I already have 
one rather dumb workaround, which is to set your DECterm to VT100 mode.  Then
things start working, BUT you lose the nice VT300 keyboard, graphics, etc...
This is pestering a lot of my users.


                        Thanks in advance.


                        Tom Wallis

PS> We are running VAXstation 3100s, ULTRIX 3.1, and ULTRIX worksystem software
2.1, and ULTRIX DECnet.
