Has anybody else had problems with Layers getting confused on the last
line of a screen.  It shows up using the command 'more -cd' to list
files larger than one screen and goes away with 'more -d'.  With the
'-c' option present, the last line gets overwritten with spaces
(although I can see it being written correctly before it gets
overwritten); with the '-c' option absent, the last line is correct.
It's not exactly a problem with the last physical line on the screen
because I see the same problem when I limit the number of lines to
less than 24.

Also in vi, when inserting lines at the bottom of the screen, the lines
don't visually scroll so it seems as if you're writing on top of the
previous line.  When you redisplay the screen however, the insertions,
in fact, are correct.

I've played with both the layers-supplied termcap, and some of the
enumerable variations of vt100 entries on our Sun-4 w/o avail.  

Can others confirm this behavior? Any solutions?
