I like this program but recently I've been having HORRIFIC problems using 
desterm to logon to my school's mainframe. Basically, when I do things such as
Emacs a file, the file turns to "soup"- if I'm in the 3rd line pressing 
any key <ie space> my cursor will follow accordingly but suddenly it will 
appear at the end of the line, or when I'm deleting something, the whole
screen gets royally screwed up and turns into soup. This has happened when I
used ANSI, VT-52 and VT-102 when logging on, and its annoying as hell.
when I type "ls" for a directory as well, I end up with a jumbled mess like:

                                                                              f
ilename                                                                       f
ilename2
<etc> and its hard to work in that sort of environment. This also happens on 
RN also, where some posts appear like that too. When I buffer everything, it
appears normal instead of demented. Any help would be greatly appreciated
