Either a bug has popped up in my Vt100 emulator, or my disk has become
corrupted. (I don't see how either is possible, but...)

Here's what happens: 
the emulator thinks it comes up in unbuffered mode (i.e. all characters
typed go straight through), but it doesn't. To get the host to receive
any input, I have to hit <Return>. So my files on the host wind up full
of broken lines, and I can't even use the cursor keys.
Now it gets interesting. If I tell it to go into buffered mode, all
output goes to the status line at the top of the screen. I'll TYPE
or CAT a file on the host (which is one of (1) a VMS VAX or (2) a
Un*x machine) and it will display one line at a time on the status
line (each for a fraction of a second) and, when it's done, the status
line will go yellow again.

Has anybody seen this? Is there an easy fix? I don't know that I really
want to spend the money for the software again, since 8-bit Commodores
seem to be going the way of the dodo :-( and I don't know how much
longer I'm going to be able to find ANY software for the machine...

Thanks in advance,
