This is not a problem with MacTerminal. We have the exact same trouble when we
connect to the VAX using our TCP/IP programs (Mac or MSDOS) and then
use any VAX editor under VMS 4.5. There is something wrong with the way they
handle scroll regions.

I saw something about the passthru problem here a while back? Something from
Apple that indicated they were not going to support passthru because they
would need to drive the printer port directly (low level) and that had become
verboten to Apple engineering.
