Following is a configuration of my system

Sun sparcstation 330
Sony color monitor

environment=
TERM=sun
term=sun

There are two problems:

1.  Occasionally, if the cursor is placed at the beginning of a line 
    that has text from column 0 to whatever, and space is pressed, 
    the text is moved over one space to the right but the character
    in the first column is not erased. ie.


12345

then after putting the cursor under the 1 and pressing space:

112345

the same effect is observed with tab, but you would have for the second line

1234512345

where the first 12345 was not erased.

2.   Also, we are having a heck of a time defining properly the keyboard.
     The C- and ESC- work fine but the cursor, etc keys do not work.

	Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. After using emacs
at another site, we fell in love and would like to implement emacs
locally. 

What we have tried:

1   Copied the sun terminal definitions supllied with emacs over top
    of the termcap entry supplied by Sun. No effect.

2   Tried to load sun*.el to define cursors. Message
    error: void push.  No effect.

3   Made sure that Makefiles are all set propperly.

4   Tried to load /lisp/term/sun.el in .emacs but makes no difference.






Thanks for your time.
