I will probably put a doc file in the one I have on isca.icaen.uiowa.edu. because I never would have figured it out without the help of snoopdos. To get elvis to run - copy the termcap to S: "setenv TERM AA" run vi Everything should then work. I seem to remember changing the li# in termcap to 23 as that's all the lines you actually get on the workbench screen.
