Ah!  This characterizes the problem sufficiently.  There was a cursor
placement problem w.r.t. newline that was fixed in the last release.  It
was possible to "right arrow" over the newline, delete it, and not have
jot remove the line break on screen.

This is fixed in the latest release of Irix (unless your problem is
actually something else).
