Summary: Or is it a problem with TOPS20 EMACS?

I have had the opportunity recently of using RedRyder 9.2 (which, by
the way, is the best terminal emulation program for the Mac) on a
9600 BPS line. I first noticed a problem when using TOPS20 EMACS:
When displaying screens of text, all the text comes out indented to
about the middle of the screen. I also noticed this problem at 4800
BPS. The next day, I discovered it at 1200, so it can't be just a
problem with the high speed. 

So far, RedRyder 9.2 works fine at 9600 BPS with some rather
screen-intensive programs for TOPS20, including Rogue and a game that
shows animated films. It also works fine with Unipress EMACS (a
version of Gosling EMACS). I've never had this problem with SmartCom
II, which I used to use until I got RedRyder.

I suspect this is an idiosyncrasy between TOPS20 EMACS and RedRyder.
Could someone else try this out (there aren't a whole lot of DEC-20s
around these days) and see if they have the same problem? It's
annoying. Also, does anyone know how I can get in touch with Scott
Watson, the author of RedRyder, without actually having to use a
phone? That would be so archaic...
