Hello...

I am running JR-Comm, V1.01 (unregistered) to acess the school's Un*x box.
Upon login, I tell the computer I have a VT100.  This works fine for more and
rn.  It does not work well for GnuEmacs :(.  Specifically, when I do block
inserts or deletes, the screen is not updated properly.  If I do a CTRL/L
(screen-refresh), the screen is displayed properly.  Also, the backspace
char erases the character it backs over (again, only on the screen).

So, my question is: what can I do to fix it?  I remember hearing somewhere that
there is a termcap for the Amiga.  Where is it?  I really like JR-Comm, and I
really like GnuEmacs -- I would be loath to give up either.  Any help would
be appreciated beyond the ability of mere mortal man to comprehend...
