I had those problems with Jove and V/AT 2.3. When I upgraded to 2.4 the word problem disappered (as did the random characters), but when I delete a line another (random? I'm not sure) line disappears from the screen. It's still in the file (if I do ESC-CTL_L it reappears). I suspect either the ANSI terminfo file for the console is screwed-up or (more likely) there are bugs inside the console driver itself with respect to ANSI sequence handling. I made a "dumb" ANSI terminfo (based on the Berkeley termcap entry for ANSI terminals with "pessimistic" assumptions) that seemed to work okay. BTW, I'm using Jove 4.14. -- Thomas V.
