	Speaking of vt100 emulation: when I try to use the csh "filec"
facility on an Apollo, the command line is not redisplayed correctly:

When I type ^D:

hubble 1% ls .l^D
.login    .logout
hubble 1%	<- No redisplay, should be ls .l
	  ^^^^^
or <ESC>:

hubble 1% ls .a<ESC>
hubble 1% ls ias <- Incorrect redisplay, should be ls .alias
	  ^^^^^

	However, the command line buffer is correct, as typing <return>
issues the correct command:

hubble 1% ls ias
.alias
hubble 2%

	This happens on both vt100 emulation run from a DM pad, and also
with telnet logins using vt100 emulation. I have checked my stty
settings and they are the same as on some other machines on which filec
works correctly for me (e.g., Sun and SGI).

	Any suggestions or advice? Thanks.
