Why is it that when I rlogin to a machine running, say SunOS 4.1 or certain
versions of VAX Ultrix (but not earlier versions of the SunOS), from my
DS3100 (UWS 2.2) or my DS5000 (v4.0), my DECterm window (under DECwindows)
is switched into reverse video mode (light text, dark background)? 

It seems concurrent with the execution of tset on the remote machine during
login.

Is there any way to disable this annoyance?

Many thanks for any help.
