I suggest that you use the 'ansi' terminal emualation.  If you are using 
an older version of Pro-Comm, the 'ansibbs' version works ok.  You will
probably have to adjust the unicap file to accomodate the different function
key sequences which may be returned.  If you are using a new(er) version of 
Pro-Comm, you should be able to use the wyse50 emulation, with possibly needing
again to adjust the function key sequences in the unicap.  Since you are 
running at a low baud rate, you should also increase the 'ndelaypad' parameter
in the unicap to allow for more time for the function keys.

If you need more information, please post or send email.
