There is a problem with sc not resetting the stty setting.  Actually I think it
is the curses library that is at fault.  I hacked it get it to work on my
345 v7.0.  I think I commented out one of the last resetting functions in the
curses library when sc was returning to cooked mode.  I have the source dumped
off on tape at the moment so I can't be sure.  If you are still stuck send me
mail and I can send you the diffs or the compiled code if you like.
