This isn't really a problem with ProTERM's vt100 emulation, its really ProTERM's lack of a wrap mode for the vt100 emualation that's giving you a problem (after using various MS-DOS term programs, this is the basic problem with vt100/vt102 emulations that come with them, no wrap mode). Personally, I'd be demanding that they include a line wrap setting so you can specify if the program should wrap or not. (I've only used v2.0 a couple times, so forgive me if they've added some functionality since then.) Bob Bob Kusumoto | Find the electric messiah.
